Well-managed investments are crucial to your ability to make an impact
The keys to a well-managed investment portfolio are time, knowledge and resources. But today’s board members face many competing demands on time, including setting strategic priorities, development and measuring impact. These important but time-consuming priorities may limit their ability to focus on investments. Take a moment to consider whether you have the bandwidth and resources to:
- Develop and manage a diversified portfolio across asset classes.
- Evaluate and select top-tier investment managers.
- Track fluctuating market conditions and tactically allocate to capitalize on opportunities.
- Manage day-to-day administration and reporting requirements.
- Monitor sustainable investment trends.
- Stay abreast of peer and industry trends.
These are just a few of the complex tasks our Outsourced chief investment office team can help with. Our investment specialists have wide and deep institutional experience, and we love what we do. We’re here to make your job easier. And to allow you to concentrate on running your organization.

Outsourced Chief Investment Office (OCIO) Capabilities at J.P.Morgan
A growing number of endowments, foundations and families are recognizing the value of using outside resources to help them meet their goals. They can select the resources suitable to their needs and still maintain control. This worldwide shift toward outsourcing is a by-product of the ever-increasing complexity of global markets. It also signals a growing awareness among organizations that more successful portfolio management requires more sophisticated tools and resources, as well as more timely decision making. Working with an OCIO has enabled investment committees to better focus on policy, strategy and other key issues— and it doesn’t mean loss of control. Organizations retain the ability to choose investment managers, determine their level of discretion and set investment guidelines. Through J.P. Morgan’s Outsourced chief investment office, endowments, foundations and families can work closely with seasoned practitioners, and can access a comprehensive range of portfolio management services tailored to their own specific objectives.
