Investment Policy Statement (IPS)

At Cotyledon, we understand the importance of having a clear and comprehensive Investment Policy Statement (IPS) in place. As your investment counsel, we are dedicated to providing our clients - both individuals and businesses - with the guidance and support they need to draft an IPS that accurately reflects their investment goals and objectives.

An IPS is a document that outlines an organization's investment objectives, constraints, and guidelines. It is a critical tool for ensuring that investment decisions are made in alignment with the organization's overall financial goals and risk tolerance. Our team works closely with you to understand your unique needs while developing an IPS that is tailored to your specific circumstances.

We support you through every phase of the drafting process, ensuring that all important objectives are covered and communicated in an effective way. Our expertise in numerous industries and markets allows us to provide you with direct insights into smart guidelines that protect your bottom line, values, and aspirations. We help reinforce criteria that play a key role in your company’s best interest.
