Institutional growth strategy for a mid-sized equity boutique manager
We identified the firm’s key strategic objectives in three steps: Inventoried the client’s product set, interviewed key clients, and benchmarked investment performance against competitors in order to identify the market opportunity and key gaps in the client’s products, services, and investment and distribution capabilities.

We benchmarked the client relative to peers and against industry best practices using our diagnostic framework “likelihood of success,” creating a turn-around for the client in the Nordic tier-I segment.
