IPS Stated Objective for Non-Core Fixed Income “Diversify the risk of the overall investment program and provide both income and cap apital ap appreciation”

Why do we conduct annual reviews? Per the TMRS IPS, comprehensive reviews are to be conducted and documented at least annually. The goal is to formally review managers’ performance, current investment strategy or style relative to that which was communicated, and other issues related to the managers’ organization, personnel, or investment philosophy. The annual review process is part of the IPS manager retention framework. The annual review & ongoing monitoring processes may include but are not limited to:
SEC Form ADV reviews SSAE16 and other operational audit reviews Compliance Certifications Detailed Performance Analyses Manager Meetings Quarterly Monitoring Manager Annual Meetings Limited Partnership Advisory Committees Strategic Portfolio Reviews Meetings with comparable managers Market Research Attending Conferences
