Portfolio monitoring is a feedback loop given market inputs to the tactical asset allocation and portfolio creation process that continually tests the portfolio for allocation efficiency as well as the means by which that allocation is achieved. Tactical allocations are constantly challenged in search of a superior portfolio risk return profile within allowable constraints and client specific considerations. Manager due diligence is an ongoing process both qualitatively and quantitatively. Performance metrics are monitored versus customized indices and peers, performance attribution is scrutinized and managers are challenged when appropriate.
