Three reasons to conduct an RFP this year
MEET YOUR GOALS
After the last few (eventful) years – have your goals changed? And is your current manager capable of delivering results to meet them?
GAIN ALIGNMENT
Enable alignment and engagement between your organization and its advisor. Communication is key to having a successful partnership, does your investment committee require frequent updates?
IT'S TIME
The best practice is to evaluate your manager every 3 to 5 years to ensure the advisor is meeting expectations. How is yours doing?
