How an External Money Manager can work with you


WORKING WITH AN INVESTMENT ADVISOR

Registered investment advisors can effectively reduce risk while strengthening the overall Treasury function of your institution through professional portfolio management and effective cash management consulting. An independent advisor addresses your unique needs with total or limited discretionary authority, and adds value by reducing staff time and expense as well as increasing the portfolio's yield and earning potential. Privatization through the use of an investment advisor is a cautious and measured method of getting the most from your portfolio. An investment advisor is not a broker. The advisor acts as an intermediary to choose the best investments for the clients.

Key benefits offered by the advisor include:

Extended Staff Resources
As the investment advisor focuses on your investment strategy and portfolio, your staff can concentrate on other important assignments and projects. Professional external management of your portfolio saves on associated benefit and personnel costs, and assures continuity in the critical investment area during unanticipated absence or turnover.

Client Control by Policy and Procedure.
Registered investment advisors are overseen by both the State Securities Commission and the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Working under a formal written professional services contract, and using your investment policy and formal guidelines, the advisor establishes and oversees the highest standards of compliance and oversight on your market counterparties.

Improved Information and Reporting
Timely and accurate accounting and management information is made available to you through state-of-the-market technology systems. Our clients benefit from the latest in information technology without incurring the costly capital outlay. On-line or faxed holdings reports reflect strict daily pricing of securities. All of our custom reporting fully complies with federal accounting standards and new state requirements.

Increased Earnings
An advisor concentrates solely on the financial markets and utilizes top market technology and resources to benefit the client. With direct contacts to all the major trading desks, the advisor has increased market access for security transactions and passes higher earnings on to the client.

Depository Control
To assure independent third party oversight and client control, portfolio assets are maintained in your depository, and all clearing and safekeeping functions remain with your established custodian.

Cash Management and Cash Flow Analysis
The advisor will review, or help develop, the essential cash flow model which will form the foundation for future investment and cash management decisions.

Cost Effectiveness
Since the investment advisor is paid from the earnings added to your portfolio, you receive the benefit of professional judgment and experience without incurring additional costs.
