Forgive me for my ignorance, but this looks like a wealth management/private banker role. IPS - is an investment policy you develop and update for each of your clients (based on a variety of risk and return factors). A FoF is - fund manager that raises money to invest in 20+ individual hedge fund managers to diversify operational risk and maximize returns (among many other things).
