Family Office Investment Services
Landmark’s Family Office Investment Services typically include the following:
− development of a Client Investment Policy based on each client’s objectives and
needs
− determine an appropriate asset allocation for each client
− identify independent third party investment managers and / or investment funds to
fulfill a client’s asset allocation
− reviews on a timely basis of a client’s investment portfolio and recommendations
for any changes as appropriate from time to time;
− introductions to a client of new investment opportunities, strategies and ideas;
− reviews of investments proposed by a client and/or by third parties and
recommendations to a client with respect thereto;
− monitoring of investment allocations;
− reports to a client on a timely basis with respect to, among other things,
investment performance, targets, allocations and the like; and
− offering accounting and tax services for a client, as from time to time agreed
upon.
We primarily recommend investments with unaffiliated third-party investment managers.
All recommendations are made independently and objectively and are based exclusively
on the suitability of a given selection in terms of its risk-reward profile as it relates to the
client’s fact set, expectations, risk temperament and time horizon. All selected managers
must have historically demonstrated a specialized expertise in a given investment strategy
and must possess a consistent, repeatable investment process. In some cases, we may
select newly organized managers whose principals exhibit these characteristics.
Our independent third party manager search and selection process is the result of
extensive internal research and due diligence process. The process encompasses a
comprehensive review of both historical performance data and underlying quantitative
analytics as well as in-depth reviews of qualitative measures including such things as
ownership, investment philosophy, staffing, compliance, code of ethics, risk
management, policy and procedures and trading efficiencies. Landmark also utilizes the
services of an outside consultant to assist with due diligence reviews of prospective third-
party managers.
Based on a client's individual circumstances and needs
(as may be exhibited in the client's
investment policy), we will work with the client to determine the asset allocation for the
client’s portfolio. The asset allocation will dictate a certain mix of investment managers.
Factors considered in making this determination include the client’s account size, risk
tolerance and liquidity needs, and the investment characteristics of each third-party
investment manager. We encourage clients and/or their counsel to review each third-
party manager’s disclosure document regarding the particular characteristics of any
program or manager recommended by us.
We regularly and continuously monitor the performance of the selected manager(s). If
we determine that a given third party investment manager is not meeting our agreed upon
management expectations, or if we believe that a different manager may be more suitable
for a client's particular needs, then we may recommend that the client contract with
another third-party manager. Under this scenario, we will assist the client in selecting a
new manager, and then monitor that manager's performance. However, any move to a
new manager is solely at the discretion of the client.
