I have produced a five part education series on how to structure the investment office. This fourth episode covers external advisers.
I cover:
What kind of adviser is Hall Road
What is the challenge we are trying to solve for – often families pick a wealth management partner that are referred, not selected for the right purpose.
Horses for courses - understand the different models.
One off/complex advice vs ongoing relationships
Align with needs – eg broker/transaction style to more goal oriented with a next generation education component.
We wanted IP transfer – lots of family offices don’t take advantage of their counterparty's depth.
Selection process - RFP or similar, make sure you put the effort in now to save switching headaches.
Get referrals – but don't make this your only selection method.
I also cover the trends in this sector:
Moving away from transactional advice (stockbroking)
Increased use of private markets which adds some complexity
Taking on reporting as a service
OCIO and OCFO
Going direct to managers and using advisers for dd and more complex research
Next gen education
Impact and ESG
This is a new platform for me, hopefully it works as a way of delivering information for those families and advisers seeking practical insight. They're short (30 minutes tops).
