IC Select

IC Select provides pension schemes with the detailed due diligence necessary to ensure that the highest standards of scheme governance are achieved when selecting and overseeing fiduciary managers and investment advisers. IC Select is part of Independent Governance Group and has no affiliations to investment consultants and FM service providers, so our conflict-free approach puts pension trustees and their boards firmly in control. This places us in a unique position amongst third party evaluator firms, as the only organisation that can conduct in depth research of both the advisory and delegated investment services of the major investment consultants, as well as other fiduciary management providers. By not competing with these firms, we have access to detailed information not available to other third-party evaluators. With a combined experience of working with investment and pension plans that exceeds 150 years, our team’s expertise, research and assessment skills are unparalleled. IC Select was established in 2007 initially to help trustees and pension managers select their investment consultant. The services were expanded in 2009 to include regular review and oversight of investment consultants and subsequently the selection and oversight of fiduciary managers. IC Select is a wholly independent organisation and does not offer investment advisory services. This places us in a unique position amongst third party evaluator firms, as the only organisation that is able to conduct in depth research of both the advisory and delegated investment services of the major investment consultants, as well as other fiduciary management providers. By not competing with these firms, we have access to detailed information not available to other third party evaluators. Our approach is research led which means that we update our due diligence on the ten largest fiduciary managers and seven of the major investment consultants every six months.
