FEG OCIO adds value through: (1) active management; (2) opportunistic positioning; (3) illiquidity premium; (4) and fee negotiations. FEG begins each OCIO relationship with an in-depth discovery connecting client’s enterprise with a custom asset allocation strategy. From there, FEG OCIO will opportunistically invest in undervalued strategies in times of market dislocation. FEG OCIO offers clients access to diversified illiquid strategies regardless of asset size. FEG has demonstrated success in selecting active strategies that can outperform, although will negotiate active management fees down to passive-like levels to enhance the probability of outperformance.
