ISC is all about helping our clients be successful. Clients receive a personal relationship with our talented and pragmatic consultants, whose goal is to help them achieve success.
"The bedrock of our success are the relationships we develop and nurture with our clients. We go beyond simply delivering, we base our partnerships on trust and dependability."
— Bruce Christie, ISC Managing Director
"In 2005 we founded ISC, wanting it to be a place where people would enjoy working and share their enthusiasm with their colleagues. ISC today is a place where if I were starting my career again, I would very much want to join."
— Warren Goillau, ISC Director
Our Approach
Our aim is to optimise client value on all the assignments we undertake. On many projects we integrate our consultants into your existing team structures, which means you experience less disruption and can stay closely involved with the progress we make. ISC promotes a collaborative open working style and when we near assignment completion, our focus is to ensure a seamless transition to business as usual. We seek to partner rather than just ‘do a job’, offering customised solutions, expert advice and skilled project management. ISC sees every engagement as an opportunity to deepen and broaden relationships with our clients where the development of mutual trust underpins the work we do today and how we support them in the future.
Our Experience
Each of our directors has in excess of twenty years involvement in the financial services sectors, with experience gained in senior positions within investment management organisations and also niche and ‘big four’ consultancies. All are at senior consultant level with proven track records in delivering success.
Our highly rated employees are recruited for their industry expertise and strong project skills. We also ensure we match their personal values and working styles with those of ISC. We seek to continually strengthen our deep and broad knowledge of the sector whilst also demonstrating strong relationships with asset managers, technology vendors and service providers.
Thought Leadership
In a sector crammed with regulation, where company and product differentiation are challenging, ISC’s thought leadership provides investment managers with often original but always insightful ideas that can make a difference. All our consultants are encouraged to develop and communicate their thinking so innovated ideas can be shared and cultivated. ISC have been regular contributors to the financial press, industry forums, speaking engagements and expert panels.
Our Pragmatism
ISC looks for pragmatic solutions that give greatest return on investment. ISC is open-minded and business-centric rather than system or process-centric. The first question we always ask is ‘What is the benefit and to whom?’
ISC recognises that the successful investment manager seeks the balance between technology, people and processes.
