> Donald B. Trone, CEO (Chief Ethos Officer), 3ethos ERISA and other guidelines have long required fiduciaries to implement a uni- form process for drafting an Investment Policy Statement (IPS). But historically, enforcement has been lax, leaving companies little motivation to develop a formal practice. Now, times have changed. Corporate scandals, coupled with volatility in the markets, have generated an increase in complaints, lawsuits and even the possi- bility of government legislation requiring an official IPS. This compact guide will help financial advisors, plan sponsors, money managers and all professional fiduciaries protect themselves, stay in complianceand stay one step ahead of the government mandateby putting a simple IPS process in place. Thornburg Investment Management provides an easy-to-follow framework for producing a well-written IPS based on practices recognized by the Foundation for Fiduciary Studies.

Both templates make implementing a proper IPS easier and more accurate. With this thorough guidebook, you can prepare documents that meet all industry standards of compliance and federal regulations with relative easeevery timewhile protecting yourself and your firm from liability.
