Practice area 07

Investment Oversight

Investment programs governed by cash-flow reality, not product pitches.

The cash-flow analysis comes first; the policy follows from it. Then a governance process the committee can actually run.

Investment policy/ Program oversight/ Treasury & reserves

Investment policy

Cash-flow-based investment policy statement

A near-, mid-, and long-term cash-flow-needs analysis that frames the policy; an Investment Policy Statement with recommended allocation ranges, spending policy, and roles and responsibilities; and a board adoption resolution.

Project

Program oversight

Investment committee support

Quarterly performance review against policy, a manager evaluation framework, a fee benchmark, and a rebalancing discipline memo.

Extended

Manager & OCIO search

RFP design and facilitation, a scoring matrix, finalist interviews, and a transition checklist.

Project

Treasury & reserves

Operating cash & reserve structure

Cash tiering across operating, reserve, and long-term horizons; a laddering and cash-management plan; a bank-fee and coverage review with an FDIC and SIPC map; and sweep and yield recommendations.

Where the line sits

OAS advises on investment governance and oversight — policy, process, selection, and monitoring. We do not take discretion, hold custody of assets, or recommend individual securities. Your managers manage; your committee governs; we make the governance rigorous.
