Transfer Agent Case Study: Switching to a New Provider
There is nothing more frustrating than an underperforming transfer agent. Errors, omissions, delays and miscommunications cause investor dissatisfaction, advisor frustration, missed deadlines – all the problems you hoped to avoid by outsourcing back-office processes. Switching transfer agents is sometimes necessary but many managers are daunted by the prospect of a conversion of investor and historical data to the system of a new transfer agent. They need not be.
A Curious Look at Commercial Real Estate Cap Rates
In this article we ask the question, “Which came first, the market value or the cap rate?” Does that question sound familiar?

However, history tells us that this traditional model of investing in stocks and bonds is not as effective as the model that endowments (think Harvard and Yale) use. Over the last 30 years, the average return in the US for someone using the 60/40 model is 8.2%, not bad. But, the Endowment Model Yale earned 13.1% over the same 30 years…
