IPS Drafting Agent
Drafts and maintains Investment Policy Statements.
Turns the agreed objectives, constraints and risk tolerance into a clean Investment Policy Statement (allocation ranges, rebalancing rules, review triggers) and keeps it current as the client's circumstances change, re-opening the document the moment a clause goes stale.
