Except from the article: Linda Lubitz Boone and Norm Boone, authors of IPS AdvisorPro (ipsadvisorpro.com), have made the writing of investment policy statements easy, methodical and more professional.
The foundation of any wealth management engagement is an investment policy statement. It gives voice to all important elements of an investment advisory relationship — goal-setting, asset allocation, management procedures and communication protocols. Left unspoken, such matters can be ticking time bombs that will obliterate client relationships and cripple your business.
The Boones have created a web-based system with templates that can be customized, making it simpler to create and maintain Investment Policy Statements. Anyone managing other people’s money should be writing investment policy statements and making them living documents that clients value and can rely on. This software promotes that practice in the industry, makes it easier to implement and promulgates a good practice.
