CIO’s Transition Manager Survey Deadline Extended

Transition Managers can now be rated by clients via online questionnaire until August 4.

By Chris Butera

CIO is seeking to find the top-rated providers who will take the gold, silver, and bronze in this year’s industry-leading transition management survey. Last  year’s gold medal went to the investment bank Macquarie. 
CIO has decided to extend its Transition Management Survey until August 4.

Clients of transition management services can rate the performance of their transition managers over the past year via an online questionnaire.

Respondents can request up to 15 managers at once from a list, and also have the opportunity to write in and rate other managers not listed.

League tables:
In order to be included on any league table, a provider must provide at least 10 total responses.

A provider with at least five responses in each of any two regions will be eligible for the global league table.

Providers qualifying in just one region are considered regional. Six providers qualified for global ratings and four qualified as regional.

Minimum responses needed by region in order for a rating in that region are: United States (10); Canada (5); UK/Europe/MENA (5); and Asia/Pacific (5).

The survey is intended for public and corporate defined benefit plans, endowments & foundations, and other asset owners.

Trump Administration Removes Scaramucci

“The Mooch” removed from White House position as new chief of staff appointed.

By Chris Butera

After just 10 days, Anthony Scaramucci’s run as White House communications director is over.

His dismissal follows a bizarre outburst from the former SkyBridge Capital founder—published Thursday by The New Yorker— in which “The Mooch” vented his frustrations over his new staff, White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon and Reince Preibus, who left his position as White House chief of staff the next day. In his rant, Scaramucci threatened to fire the entire White House communications team.

Scaramucci’s appointment to the position led to the resignation of Sean Spicer as White House press secretary.

Almost immediately after his hire, Scaramucci launched an investigation of news leakers in the Trump administration, threatening to fire anyone caught speaking to the press.

Scaramucci also personally removed Senior Assistant Press Secretary Michael Short.

Earlier today, retired Gen. John Kelly, was appointed to replace Preibus as chief of staff.  According to The New York Times, Scaramucci’s removal came at Kelly’s request.

It is unknown at this time whether Scaramucci will receive employment in the White House in a new position or if he has been removed completely from the Trump administration.
