Alan Biller and Associates

Portfolio Construction
We offer a comprehensive solution for clients who wish to delegate some or all their investment authority. Our OCIO services encompass investment policy design, strategic asset allocation, open architecture investment manager selection, fee negotiation, potential for access to capacity constrained funds, rebalancing, retaining or removing managers, cash transfer operations, and trustee education. Our approach is not formulaic, it is customized to and reflective of each client’s specific needs and the specifics of the delegated management authority. We recognize that clients have finite time and resources and want to focus on making critical strategic decisions. Our OCIO services provide a range of customized fiduciary investment solutions.
