Institutional Portfolio Services
CCM provides Institutional Portfolio Services to endowment and foundation boards, and to investment committees.
We focus on helping our clients establish an investment policy statement that is in close alignment with their policies, and then execute on that policy through a diligent investment management process. We work with all types of endowments and foundations, ranging from community foundations to endowments seeking sustainable investment strategies. We also work with associations with investment portfolios. Because one of our core focus areas within the CCM Integrated Wealth Management offering is assisting our clients with their own philanthropic planning and giving, we take great pride in extending our circle of care to endowments and foundations.
