"Consulting skills and experience across the spectrum of investment management"
Experience
Each of our partners has in excess of 15 years in the financial services industry, covering experience gained in senior positions within Investment Managers and niche and big four consultancies. All are at senior consultant level with experience of several disciplines and proven track records of delivering success. The Partnership possesses a deep and broad knowledge of the industry, demonstrating strong relationships with asset managers, vendors, and service providers.
Approach
Our focus is on client satisfaction. ISC will help you, as clients, to achieve maximum benefit and value with minimum disruption, time and risk. ISC promotes a collaborative open working style and when we finish an assignment, we endeavour to ensure that the transition to business as usual is complete and smooth. ISC seeks to partner with their clients rather than just do a job – offering support and advice where required in a customised and personalised way. ISC sees every engagement primarily as a relationship management opportunity. ISC goes beyond simply delivering and looks to build lasting relationships based on trust and dependability.
Thought- Leadership
Our partners are considered thought-leaders with subject matter expertise across the investment management life-cycle. Our partners have conducted many in-depth peer group and strategic reviews, advising the operational and executive boards of investment managers. Our partners have been regular contributors to the financial press.
Pragmatism
ISC looks for pragmatic solutions giving greatest “bang for buck”. ISC is open-minded and business centric rather than system/process centric. Our first question is always “What is the benefit and to whom?” ISC recognises that the successful investment manager seeks the balance between technology, people and processes.
Structure
ISC favours a flat organisational structure that lets us provide support exactly where and how our clients need it - from a single expert to a full service team without compromising quality.
Cost Effective
ISC does not maintain high overheads, so our charges to our clients reflect the professional service they receive but are not inflated by a massive infrastructure that our clients do not need.
ISC has no dedicated sales force. Instead, we rely on the skills of our team of consultants, coupled with the recommendations of our many satisfied clients, to grow our business.
Independence
ISC is an independent consultancy. The Partnership works closely with vendors, clients and trade organisations that serve the investment management industry. However, ISC does not enter into any commercial arrangements that would compromise our ability to offer impartial, objective advice to our clients. ISC will ensure that any commercial arrangements the Partnership does enter into will be transparent to our clients.
