OPERATIONAL CONSULTING

Our operational consulting can vary, from helping a mutual fund client set up their organization to handle individual institutional accounts, to supporting firms that wish to comply with the AIMR Performance Presentation Standards.

Performance Measurement and the AIMR-PPS

  • Should you comply with AIMR's PPS® or GIPS®?
  • What steps do you need to take to comply?
  • What other areas of performance need help?

Why TSG?

Types of Assignments

We help clients address performance measurement in a variety of ways, for example:

AIMR Compliance - the why and how
Many firms need help in figuring out the AIMR standards and determining whether they should comply. Also, many need help developing a strategy for compliance. We've helped many firms in this regard. Often, in just a day or two, we can help you address the opportunities, benefits, and tasks to be tackled to comply. We can help you identify the holes that need to be filled for you to claim compliance.
Performance measurement needs
We help firms address the broader areas of performance, to include reporting (for internal use, for prospects, and for clients), systems issues, and other areas.
Training
We can provide custom training to enhance your management and staff's knowledge and understanding of performance and the AIMR-PPS.
