Summary
A Northeast city has issued a request for firms to serve as discretionary investment managers for its portfolios, according to a notice published by Financial Investment News (FIN). The city's eight investment portfolios total more than $100 million, per the publisher's summary.
The scope of the search extends beyond portfolio selection. Respondents would provide discretionary investment management, policy support, custody coordination, and accounting and reporting services. Bundling these functions means the successful manager would work alongside the city's custodian and be responsible for reporting on the portfolios.
The notice is a standard public-sector manager search. The source material does not specify the issuing city, the mandate's asset allocation, benchmarks, fee structure, submission deadline, or evaluation criteria, so those details cannot be confirmed from the available reporting.
For institutional managers, municipal mandates of this size are typically won through formal requests for proposals and can serve as reference accounts for public-fund business. Interested firms would need to consult the original FIN notice for procurement details.
