OCIO Overview

Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) is a model where an external firm is hired to handle some or all of the investment management responsibilities that an internal CIO or investment team would typically perform.

Using an OCIO allows a firm to access professional investment expertise, improve governance, reduce complexity, and free up time to focus on clients and relationships
