The advisory mandate

Full-service investment consulting, delivered with senior accountability.

Every element of a traditional consulting mandate — led at senior level and supported by modern analytics. No juniorised delivery, no layered sub-contracting, no product agenda.

When we advise you, we have nothing to sell.

On an advisory mandate, Alpha never recommends or allocates the fund to its own or a related party’s product, and the fund is the only party paying for the advice. So strategy, manager selection and implementation answer to one thing — your members’ outcome.

What the mandate covers.

Strategy & IPS advice

Investment Policy Statement design and annual review.

Strategic asset allocation

Long-term allocation and life-stage modelling.

Manager research & selection

Research, due diligence, monitoring, termination and fee negotiation.

Performance & risk reporting

Quarterly performance, attribution and risk reporting to the board.

Regulation 28 oversight

Continuous compliance monitoring and governance support.

Alternatives & private markets

Private equity, infrastructure and private-credit due diligence.

Two-Pot advice

Liquidity, withdrawal-behaviour and cash-flow planning.

ESG & transformation

ESG integration and transformation assessment and reporting.

Trustee education

Structured training that helps trustees interrogate proposals.

A single, fixed advisory fee.

One fixed annual fee covers the full mandate. It is not asset-based, so our fee doesn’t rise just because markets do.

There are no hourly extras and no product-linked income on an advisory mandate. The fixed fee is our only reward for the advice.
