What is an outsourced chief investment officer?
An outsourced chief investment officer, or OCIO, is an external investment organization given agreed authority to manage defined parts of an institutional investment program. The board or investment committee retains fiduciary oversight while the OCIO implements the responsibilities established in the mandate.
What does an OCIO search firm do?
An independent OCIO search firm helps an institution define its needs, compare qualified providers, evaluate people and processes, conduct due diligence, and select an investment partner without offering a competing OCIO product.
Why use an independent OCIO search consultant?
Independence keeps the selection process focused on the institution. Alpha Capital does not provide OCIO services, so its advice is designed around objective comparison, governance, fit, and fiduciary outcomes.
Who does Alpha Capital serve?
Alpha Capital works with investment committees, boards, endowments, foundations, healthcare organizations, retirement plans, and other institutional asset owners.
