Built on decades of investment management, regulatory compliance and institutional investment consulting experience, Taiko enters the market as a consultative strategic partner for firms seeking to accelerate growth and profitability
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Taiber Kosmala & Associates, LLC, an independent investment consulting firm advising on over $15 billion in client assets, today announced the launch of Taiko, a boutique, full-service OCIO solution built for RIAs, national advisory firms, broker dealers and trust companies. Combining the institutional research platform and consulting heritage of Taiber Kosmala with innovative, custom technology, Taiko provides growth-minded firms with bespoke institutional-grade investment portfolios, a personalized investment and operations back-office and an integrated technology stack.
Designed to serve RIAs and financial institutions ranging from $100 million in AUM to multi-billion-dollar national enterprises, Taiko applies an institutional-caliber process to each client by delivering a curated gallery of investment strategies supplemented by custom practice management tools and technologies. Taiko’s platform provides operational, technological, marketing and compliance support, empowering time- and resource-challenged financial advisors to accelerate growth and profitability, while achieving a better work-life balance.
“While we’re entering the platform business with the launch of Taiko, we’re not a traditional platform. The experience we provide to each client is completely unique to their firm,” said Joe Taiber, Managing Partner at Taiko. “Each new RIA relationship begins with an empty gallery. From there, we take a consultative approach toward delivering advisory firms with investment programs that are fully customized to the needs of their clients and their identity.”
Taiko aims to be the differentiator that its clients can use to stand out in a hyper-competitive market by providing exclusive access to leading institutional managers. With more than two decades serving pensions, endowments and the wealth management marketplace, Taiko’s leadership team has long-standing relationships with hedge funds, venture capital firms, and private equity, private debt and real asset managers, that can’t be found on traditional TAMPs and alternative investment platforms. Taiko works with each client to offer a diversified set of managers and strategies that fit their unique investment philosophy and that have been vetted through Taiko’s rigorous due diligence criteria.
“Taiko’s partners receive a personalized investment program, complimented by institutional-quality research and tech resources that are designed to create efficiencies and scalability,” said Chris Horvath, Managing Director at Taiko. “Our clients will find that our high-touch approach was built expressly to empower their growth and improve their competitive position in the marketplace.”
Taiko’s OCIO solution enables firms to offload non-revenue-generating middle- and back-office responsibilities, including trading/rebalancing, billing, investment research, and portfolio accounting. The Taiko Portal provides a personalized, singular view of investment performance, vetted SMA managers and alternative investments, capital markets and economic research, alongside a series of dashboards that streamline communication with Taiko’s team, simplify workflows and strengthen the client experience.
Partnering with Taiko provides firms with a custom-tailored extension of their investment and operations staff that enables better client service and the opportunity to focus more intentionally on growth.
