In today’s rapidly evolving investment environment, manager selection has become a decisive factor for institutional investors seeking to align performance with purpose.
The focus has shifted beyond pure returns toward transparency, risk discipline, and authentic ESG integration. Selecting the right asset manager is no longer a procedural exercise.
It is a strategic partnership decision that defines an investor’s ability to meet long-term sustainability and fiduciary objectives.
Effective manager selection requires a balanced evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative dimensions. While past performance remains important, investors are looking deeper into the drivers of alpha, from credit selection and portfolio construction to stewardship practices and ESG or SDG alignment.
Due diligence increasingly extends to governance quality, data transparency, and the manager’s adaptability to regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s SFDR and local pension standards. The goal is not just to identify outperformers, but to find managers whose investment culture and ESG philosophy align with institutional values and mandates.
investRFP have become essential tools in this process. They enable investors to structure searches transparently, define precise criteria, and evaluate responses consistently across multiple strategies.
For asset managers, investRFP provides a unique opportunity to present expertise, ESG credentials, and alignment with institutional requirements in a clear and comparable format.
