Trustworthy and quality asset management over generations.

Efficient institutions, such as foundations, associations, and large financial institutions, are a key requirement for a prosperous society. Foundations fulfil an important role as financiers and co-ordinators of long-term cultural, social, and humanitarian projects. We also need large financial institutions, such as insurance companies, for the optimal redistribution of risk and financing of entrepreneurial activity.

Practically, all such projects require three inputs: people, ideas, and capital. The best people and the best ideas are usually found in-house, but many foundations and associations lack the necessary experience and resources for efficient management of the capital of the organisation. If the organisation is public or semi-public, its assets must be managed according to professional standards. Only the very largest institutions have the resources to cost-effectively build and maintain an in-house professional investment organisation, and even they may find it convenient to outsource at least part of their portfolio management.
