Episode 8: OCIO: The Phoenix that Keeps Rising with Mark Anson and Sarah Samuels

The Outsourced Chief Investment Officer—once a last resort option for sub-scale capital pools looking to avoid the hassle and cost of building their own investment office to today, a multi-trillion dollar subset of the asset management profession and arguably the hottest structural trend in the industry. Take a listen while we examine:

• What insights and opportunities led to the creation of this segment of organizations and why has that exploded in the ensuing four decades? 
• What defines a successful OCIO? And why has that trajectory and evolution seemingly reached an inflection point—hyperdrive really-- in the last five years that has redefined the space and encouraged newer, larger entrants?
