I sat on the board of a smaller foundation, and we had to find out how to invest saved up capital (tens of millions. I shit you not, it had been sitting on a savings account up to that - for YEARS - as they had burned themselves 15 years ago on some shitty managed funds).

The process went like this: Hire a consultant, get told which investment firms to use -> contact firm, get in touch with a wealth manager -> Get pitched a couple of mediocre cookie-cutter fund.

You have to understand, the majority of the board consisted of absolutely clueless (financially speaking) people, who were more than willing to pay a nice fat premium for additional hand-holding and 24/7 support/availability.

I suspect this is rampant for similar entities, and is essentially how many people in the industry manage to stay alive (and thrive).
