What should you expect in an Asset Manager?

When it comes to asset management, don’t assume that all financial institutions offer the same level of objectivity, transparency or stability. Here are several criteria to evaluate when you’re considering a professional asset manager:

• Credit research independent of a compensation bias
• Audit-friendly and streamlined control structure
• Targeted investment surveillance
• A single point for asset safekeeping with a major independent custodian
• Complete SAS 70 Type II coverage for portfolio management, custody and reporting
• No hidden revenue streams as seen with self custody
• The same level of transparency of your company’s portfolio as the portfolio manager
• Independent risk assessment of your portfolio
• Independent confirmation of investment policy compliance
• Unbiased performance reporting net of fees
• Independent investment pricing using multiple pricing sources
• Dedicated client service to support your treasury function
