The number of Outsourced Chief Investment Officers, or OCIO,  providers has exploded in recent years as institutions have come to recognize the value of an outsourced investment management solution. Institutions seek OCIOs for many reasons including co-fiduciary oversight, risk management, access to sophisticated models and alternatives, and more. One one hand, this is good news since the proliferation of providers increases the chances of finding a suitable OCIO. But on the other hand, having more choices can make an already challenging selection process even more onerous, stressful, and time consuming.
