Most large institutional funds have an in-house investment staff driving the day-to-day operations of the investment process. The staff answers to some form of oversight function, usually an investment committee. The staff works for the organization, has a duty to it, and is thinking about and responding to the needs of the organization day-in and day-out.

Many smaller organizations have not yet reached the size and scale that justifies having an investment staff, however. In these organizations, it usually falls to the executive director and/or CFO, along with the investment committee of the board to provide both investment staff and oversight functions. For many of these individuals, investments are not their primary area of expertise, nor are investments their sole priority.
