Financial Planning Dentist
  1. Define the investment objectives: The first step in drafting an IPS is to define the investment objectives. This involves assessing the risk tolerance of the trust or family office and determining the desired return.
  2. Establish the asset allocation: Once the investment objectives are defined, the asset allocation strategy can be established. This involves determining the proportion of assets allocated to each asset class based on the investment objectives and risk tolerance.
  3. Develop the risk management strategy: The risk management strategy should be developed based on the investment objectives and the risk tolerance of the trust or family office. The strategy should define how risks will be managed, monitored, and evaluated.
  4. Establish the roles and responsibilities: The IPS should establish the roles and responsibilities of the investors, fiduciaries, and investment managers. It should define who is responsible for making investment decisions, monitoring the portfolio, and evaluating performance.
  5. Evaluate performance: The IPS should include a performance evaluation process that assesses the performance of the investment portfolio relative to the investment objectives. The evaluation should be conducted regularly and used to make adjustments to the investment strategy.
