As markets, managers and the environment change, investment policies must be able to efficiently evolve. Inflexible investment strategies, manager structures, or manager selections have a long-term cost on performance.

MCA starts from your current position, learns about your goals and tailors a programme to meet your unique needs. MCA builds on past decisions and only where necessary instigates major change. The approach is to develop a process that will become part of your on-going procedures for managing your investments and managers more effectively. MCA has established processes that form the basis for advising investors on each aspect of the investment cycle.

To assist clients MCA maintains a database on managers covering their services, personnel and products. The database includes details of the business strategy, investment process, philosophy and performance along with details of reporting, fee levels etc. Manager fact files are supported by specific analysis on the manager's strengths and weaknesses.
