Our latest Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) report below features one-hundred-four firms managing industry assets of $3.27 trillion as of March 31, 2021, an increase of 15% over the prior six months.

By comparison, last year we reported 15.8% growth for the entire twelve-months ending September 30, 2020.

All things equity – public markets, private equity, venture capital — produced a year for the ages and our herd of OCIO providers kept pace with the bulls.  Overall OCIO growth matched Alpha’s broad market index and slightly trailed Alpha’s moderate endowment and foundation diversified style index.

The OCIO Story

Our friend Jon Hirtle, of Hirtle, Callaghan & Co, officially launched the OCIO service model in 1988 (with fellow Goldman Sachs vet Don Callaghan) and it’s been full steam ahead ever since.

(See Jon Hirtle’s iconoclastic guest commentary below –– and his full article OCIO My Foot! here.  We welcome all points of view)

The core idea was to offer a diversified and full-discretion money management function to family offices and institutions who could no longer effectively or affordably manage the money in-house.

OCIO firms offer the proven performance of the best endowment and foundation investment managers at a reasonable price.  And they can replicate the entire investment office with the process and structure to cope with the complexity of modern portfolios and mounting operational and regulatory burdens.

We’ve been charting the growth of the OCIO industry for well over a decade in our annual OCIO reports and the heirs of Hirtle, big and small, seem mostly to have flourished.

Today the industry is bifurcated, highly diverse, intensely competitive, and the nine largest providers on our OCIO list – Aon, Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, Mercer, Northern Trust, Russell, SEI, SSgA, and Willis Towers Watson – with their size and resources dominate the largest segment, corporate pensions.

These nine firms control nearly two trillion in OCIO assets or 60% of the outsourced segment, but from what we hear and see, the market for discretionary asset management services among foundations and family offices shows no sign of slowing.

Go ahead and call a few if you’re in the market for money-management help.  They will be happy to hear from you.

Guest Opinion: Jon Hirtle

When I am asked what an OCIO does, my answer is simple, “The same thing an internal CIO does.” So, functionally, “CIO” and “OCIO” are interchangeable and, structurally, they should be identical.

–Jon Hirtle

Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) is one of the fastest growing areas in investment management.

Charles Skorina, publisher of The Skorina Letter and acknowledged expert on tracking growth within the OCIO marketplace, recently published a list of 104 firms who claim to be delivering OCIO services.

When one considers what is required to deliver the benefits of OCIO, that is an independent investment office and your own Chief Investment Officer capability, the vast majority of those firms do not measure up.

A real OCIO search begins by eliminating pretenders from consideration.

▪ Traditional investment governance has been challenged by a tipping point of complexity and noise brought on by globalization and investment product innovation.

Consequently, Wall Street’s buyer-beware social contract is long past its expiration date when it comes to serious investors with serious responsibilities.

▪ The advantages of a sophisticated, conflict-free independent investment office with multibillion-dollar access are undeniable.

Decades ago, in order to deal with that tipping point of complexity and noise, sophisticated, multibillion-dollar investors like the R.K. Mellon Foundation and Yale University developed their own, independent investment offices led by a carefully selected, highly qualified C-suite executive called a Chief Investment Officer.

▪ Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) is an important, cost-effective innovation.

When executed well, OCIO can deliver the advantages of a sophisticated, conflict-free, multibillion-dollar, independent investment office and transform Wall Street’s archaic buyer-beware social contract into one of trust, collaboration, and reliable success.

▪ Confusion created by widespread misuse of the term “OCIO” threatens to derail its transformative power.

Growth in OCIO has attracted banks, traditional investment-product firms, consultants, and start-ups who claim they too can provide OCIO services, despite structural conflicts of interest and cultural mismatches that disqualify them.

▪ Three requirements eliminate 75% of the firms on Skorina’s list leaving approximately 25 true OCIO firms for in-depth consideration.

When selecting an OCIO (or building an independent, internal investment office) wise investors will require a conflict-free structure, capability that is unconstrained by purchasing power and a point-accountable, investment-management culture.

As more and more thoughtful investors recognize the power and promise of OCIO, it’s time to review its three primary requirements.

  1. A Conflict-Free Structure

OCIO requires a structure that is conflict free and truly open architecture with no products or hidden corporate agendas to confound decision making.

  1. Purchasing Power

OCIO requires sufficient purchasing power to pay for the talent and support to fully exploit global complexity, noise, and opportunity.

  1. An Investment Management Culture

OCIO requires a point-accountable, investment management culture.

Those three essentials eliminate all banks, product firms, small firms, and consultants: 75% of the Skorina list.

The Skorina Letter

Each issue explores how the world’s most accomplished asset managers think and invest. Original content includes profiles and interviews with industry veterans and research on compensation and investment performance.

Our insights and commentary come from our clients – board members, CEOs, chief investment officers – and the global investment community within which we work as executive search professionals.

Institutional investors operate at the crossroads of capital, talent, and ideas, shepherding over seventy trillion dollars in global assets. It’s a constantly evolving spectacle and The Skorina Letter gives readers a ringside seat.

Prior issues can be found in “archives” on our website.
