About
institutional investing enhancement llc.
Welcome To Institutional Investing Enhancement LLC.
Institutional Investing Enhancement (IIE) is a single-member LLC, a completely independent
corporate and institutional portfolio/retirement plan consultant that is a sole proprietor and
intends to stay as such.
To help institutional investors and their investments and plans reach their full potential, IIE offers
advice and insight on institutional “buy-side” investor funds like
retained earnings or reserves and endowments, as well as defined contribution (participant
directed) and defined benefit (non-participant directed) plans to corporate/institutional plan
sponsors.
IIE was formed because the “buy-side”, the corporate firms and government or non-profit entities
that purchase investment securities need straight-forward, objective, fiduciary advice
administering their funds, but don’t receive this often enough.
Fostering or sponsoring an institutional plan, such as retained earnings or a defined contribution
(401(k)) plan or defined benefit plan is straightforward, but the essentials to having superior
investment outcomes are often unrealized.
From the foundation of a plan to choosing or changing investments, monitoring their risk-adjusted
performance, and controlling fees or having effective oversight meetings, the shortfalls in plans,
regardless of size, are frequent but can be fixed or improved.
That's what IIE does, exclusively. With a distinct combination of experience and qualifications
practically applied, IIE helps institutional buy-side investors, including pension plans, be more
effective in providing the goals of their investment statement, such as preparation for a dignified
retirement to their participants and beneficiaries.
I volunteer for Junior Achievement, Habitat for Humanity, and the American Red Cross.

Asking questions is key to being a successful financial advisor. The more questions I ask, the more information I unearth, and the better chance I have at developing a truly comprehensive financial plan.
I uphold the highest of fiduciary standards. I do not shove my services down the throats of my clients, and have my interests completely aligned with my clients’.
I am a conscientious advisor and exceedingly competent, organized, and purposeful. With so many potential implications to each part of a client’s financial plan, it is imperative that I do not show impulsive behavior, and instead study the situation as a whole, and not quit “until it’s done.”
