IPG is the primary conduit between Ayco and Goldman Sachs for all investment and asset-allocation advice. IPG works with Goldman Sachs' Investment Strategies Group to establish Ayco's investment policy on strategic asset allocation for Ayco clients and to educate our counselors.

IPG also maintains and monitors the Ayco List of Mutual Funds, a list of over 60 funds that is the product of IPG's comprehensive and ongoing review. IPG supports the efforts of ISG, provides company-wide training for Ayco associates on various investment topics and regularly issues publications highlighting stock-market activity, economic developments and investment news.
