"We are not sure how to solve the problem of Due Diligence projects."

The reason you may have struggled with these tasks is they are short term projects, and you are too busy with business as usual to get them done.

Since 2002, The Timebank have built a team with diverse skills, experiences and knowledge to help clients with projects like this.

The Timebank can be a flexible addition to your team. This is far more effective than employing someone to do the same job, particularly if it is a short-term project or job that doesn’t need a full-time employee.

Case study

Customer profile

2 partner, owner managed firm.

Excellent, long standing relationships with clients.

Looking at succession and wanting to implement more consistency in process.

Firm have been operating with various investment models for some time, but have never had it properly documented as a Centralised Investment Proposition document.

Concerned the lack of a clearly documented investment process would prevent the growth and succession planning they wanted to implement.

 

Objective

  • To understand the investment process within the firm.

  • To convert this into a detailed Centralised Investment and Retirement Propositions document.

Delivery

To understand the investment process within the firm.

  • A day consulting with the firm over their models, their clients but also their goals for the business.
  • From this, we identified a number of new client segments with identifiable characteristics.
  • We determined how the characteristics of the segments determine the requirements of different investment outcomes. 

To convert this into a detailed Centralised Investment and Retirement Propositions document.

  • We designed the process.
  • We mapped the different segments through the new process.
  • We researched all available products, services and investments to find a matching shortlist of manufacturers (providers) and instruments (products).
  • We produced reports that demonstrate a match between the client characteristics and the product outcome characteristics.
  • We undertook due diligence on all the shortlisted products to determine the most suitable manufacturers (providers) and instruments (products) for each segment.
  • We then designed an online tool for the firm to process every new client through to determine both the segment and the outcome.
