Reviewing your scheme's fund management arrangements is not just an exercise for those concerned about their investment set up. It could also prove a very valuable exercise where arrangements appear to work well. You may be surprised to discover just how much improvement could be made.

Take a fresh look

It may be several years since you first appointed your investment managers and set their objectives. Although these objectives and the overall investment structure may have been reviewed from time to time, it pays to take a fresh look at your arrangements to check that:

• The structure is coherent
• There is adequate diversification between managers
• Every manager is contributing to the overall performance of your assets

A complete assessment

Our fund management review provides a complete assessment of your fund management arrangements. We analyse the styles of your managers, how they fit together and the objectives they have been set.

Hewitt has developed techniques that ensure the review is based on in-depth analysis. We analyse the actual stocks in your portfolio to make sure your managers are doing what they say they are.

In addition, we have a clear rating system for managers that enables us to rate them on seven individual key criteria, which can be weighted to reflect the needs of each client.

You will be assigned one of our senior investment consultants and a dedicated team. The team will meet with you to discuss your needs, and will keep you updated with progress. A member of the team will always be available if you have any queries.

The work we carry out for you will include:

• Assessing the financial strength and liability structure of your scheme. This helps us develop your objectives for your fund management arrangements. If you need a more in-depth analysis of your scheme's liabilities, we can carry out an asset-liability study.
• Preparing a comprehensive report and presenting it to you. We present our analysis and recommendations in a clear and coherent manner to help you make informed decisions.

We cover a wide range of multi-asset and specialist managers, as well as different types of fund management, such as property, bonds, private equity, hedge funds and quantitative.

Selecting the best

Our highly experienced, dedicated team of specialist consultants and researchers have an abundance of knowledge that they are practised in applying. Many of our consultants have practical experience of fund management. Our research team constantly investigates new ways of analysing the risks in the fund management of your assets.

We have a wealth of resource material to turn to, enabling us to provide objective, well-researched views.

We know there are no "standard" solutions; we will take time to get to know your organisation, and our recommendations will be tailored to your specific objectives.
