Decline

Our most comprehensive offering for Canadian institutional investors, Delegated Portfolio Solutions (DPS), represents the evolution of PH&N Institutional’s experience and expertise, underscored by the global scope of RBC Global Asset Management’s (RBC GAM) distinct investment strength and operational excellence.

An evolving landscape

What are Delegated Portfolio Solutions?

Our commitment to client service

DPS was launched in response to growing interest among clients for an integrated portfolio management and oversight service. With DPS, our clients have the opportunity to delegate key investment management and governance functions to us. The engagement could entail expert counsel on strategic policy development, with ongoing dynamic and tactical risk management, and even the governance oversight of a fully outsourced chief investment officer (OCIO), as determined by the client’s in-house resources and preference.

Our DPS offering is distinguished by the degree of discretion PH&N Institutional assumes in executing investment management and governance functions on behalf of institutional trustees.

Fully depicted, our governance framework includes:

Investment policy advice and design

We work collaboratively with clients to identify and understand their specific objectives and define an investment program that is comprehensive and robust.
Portfolio execution and ongoing management

Using proprietary tools, we execute and manage the portfolio, from customized strategic asset allocation to dynamic adjustment to manager oversight.
Portfolio monitoring and reporting

DPS portfolios are monitored and measured on a daily basis to gather appropriate metrics for evaluating the strategy as well as manager performance.
Client service and education

We deliver timely, relevant, and comprehensive updates, as well as ongoing educational support.
