What is an OCIO?

In today’s complex investment environment, an outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO) can take on the fiduciary responsibility for your organization’s investment portfolio—managing assets, navigating market volatility, and optimizing portfolio performance to help reach your desired goals. An OCIO lets you delegate investment decisions efficiently, enhances governance, and saves you time so you can attend to other priorities.
