FAQ
What is an OCIO?
- An Outsourced Chief Investment Officer or OCIO provides the investment capabilities of an internal CIO at a fraction of the cost. From investment due diligence to model building to case design or general investment consulting, an OCIO can help provide institutional level investment services to advisory groups of all sizes. The other benefit is that for less cost you are employing a team instead of one individual, providing more depth of knowledge and experience across the investment landscape.

What are the benefits of working with DAS?
- Expertise
- Our experienced team of investment professionals provides advisors with access to unique market insights and solutions, enabling them to make informed investment decisions. Plus, as experienced advisors, we have firsthand knowledge of the challenges our partners face like few other OCIOs do in the industry.
- Customization
- We tailor our solutions to meet the objectives of each of our partners and their clients. Whether designing a bespoke investment strategy or providing ongoing support for your practice, we work closely with you to deliver customized solutions that meet your specific requirements.
- Risk Management
- We define risk differently. Most other advisors and OCIOs measure risk as standard deviation or overall volatility. We believe the solution is not to minimize all volatility but rather the downside volatility. Thus, our approach measures, among other factors, risk as loss-standard deviation. Our multi-dimensional approach blends investment styles and disciplines, delivering returns competitive with benchmarks with much lower downside volatility.
- Efficiency
- By outsourcing your investment management functions to us, you leverage our know-how as advisors, resulting in cost and time savings, ultimately leading to improved investment outcomes.
