How RIA CIOs are building out their investment capabilities

Discussion points will include:

  • With RIA investment offices increasingly acting like institutions as they scale, how are manager selection, due diligence and asset allocation processes evolving?
  • What are the areas where large RIAs want to build out proprietary investment capabilities, and where are they more likely to outsource?
  • With an uncertain market outlook, how are RIAs thinking about asset allocation, and how should you be adapting your approach to match?
  • The centralization of investment decision making, model usage, and views on third party models built with proprietary funds.
  • Client interest in ESG, and what it will take for RIA investment offices to allocate more to sustainable options.
  • Demand for alternatives and other diversifiers, how RIAs are building out access for clients, and opportunities for asset managers to assist.
  • Red flags: what gets managers dropped, or stops them from getting over the finish line?
  • How will RIAs be approaching nontransparent ETFs?
