Advisory Services
Pension/Endowment/Foundation Consulting Services
CIC’s primary business is to provide investment planning, implementation advice, and portfolio management recommendations to primarily an institutional client base. Typical clients include corporate and public retirement plans; foundations and endowments; high net worth families and individuals; financial intermediaries and insurance companies. As part of its services, CIC works with its clients to develop Investment Policy Statements, asset allocation models and investment manager recommendations which are tailored to the individual needs of clients. CIC delivers comprehensive written reports for review and discussion, on a monthly and quarterly basis, which include performance evaluations of each investment manager, and each portfolio; comparative performance for established benchmarks, and for peer institutions; assessment of asset allocation and need, if any, for rebalancing.
Additionally, CIC relationship managers present reports to clients or to its clients’ Investment Committees on a quarterly basis. The CIC relationship manager will also assist client and/or the client’s Investment Committee with regular review and updates of Investment Policy Statements including asset allocation, fund manager selection, and selection of appropriate benchmarks. Other services provided may include custodian review and analysis, ongoing research and education and portfolio manager searches, including non-traditional asset classes.
Discretionary Outsourced Consulting and Investment Management
An affiliate of CIC, Clearbrook Investment Solutions, LLC (“CIS”) provides discretionary consulting services. CIS functions as an outsourced investment team and our investment recommendations are not limited to any specific product or service offering by a broker-dealer or insurance company. CIS remains agnostic and provides investment recommendations and implements those consistent with the client’s stated investment objectives, tolerance for risk, liquidity, suitability and investment policy statement.
MUTB – Sub-Advisory Investment Management
CIC has entered into a Sub-Advisory agreement with Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Bank Corporation (“MUTB”). In this arrangement, certain institutional clients may select from several investment management programs offered by MUTB as a sub-advisor to CIC. MUTB will retain full investment management authority over the accounts subject to CIC’s oversight. The investment programs will generally focus on Japan related investment themes and will provide international exposure to certain institutional clients.
CIC and CIS provide investment recommendations and/or management with respect to products managed by other investment managers, which may relate to investments in mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity vehicles, commingled trusts, separate accounts, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and interests in partnerships that invest in real estate and other commodities. Clients can exclude categories of securities from investment policies and guidelines and asset allocation policies. CIC does not participate in wrap fee programs by providing portfolio management services.
CIC has Assets Under Advisement totaling $ 12.7 billion and has Assets Under Management on a full discretionary basis totaling approximately $470 million. CIC’s affiliated advisors provide investment management to an additional $197 Million in Assets under Management.
