Investment Advisors' Investment Policy Statement (IPS) - Rules, Regulations, and Best Practices
OVERVIEW
The guidelines surrounding best practices for developing and
maintaining the Investment Policy Statement (IPS) are not always clear.
The IPS is a key document between the client and their investment advisor, yet
it is one that can be detrimental to the advisory firm if poorly written or
managed. It is a key document used by compliance, regulators and perhaps
as evidence in the case of a lawsuit brought by a client. It is worth the
time and effort to design a well thought out IPS or even considers a revision
to outdated IPS for existing clients.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
In order to meet the demands of the individual and institutional
clients as well as meet all the required regulations, an IPS may provide the
guidance needed. However, a badly constructed or insufficiently maintained IPS
could lead to enforcement, lawsuits and over all poor client retention.
