Your mission should not be held back by a lack of operational and investment resources. Building out an internal investment program may require substantial resources, a dedicated investment team, and trustees that incur meaningful fiduciary liability.

Limitations to Internal Investment Programs:

• Lack of organizational resources
• Narrow professional investment expertise
• Limited access to leading asset classes and investment managers
• High implementation fees and expenses
