ABOUT CORDIS
Leadership and governance

GOVERNANCE FRAMEWORK
How Cordis is structured around the principal.
Governance at Cordis is designed to keep judgment independent, incentives aligned, and decisions grounded in the long-term outcomes of the principals we serve.
Independent judgment
Cordis is structured so that advice is not driven by product, balance sheet, or distribution priorities. We focus on framing decisions, surfacing trade-offs, and protecting the principal’s vantage point.
Principal-first alignment
Our mandate begins and ends with the principal—their objectives, their tolerance for risk, and the futures connected to their decisions. Every engagement is evaluated through that lens.
Disciplined decision-making
Significant inflection points require more than instinct. We bring structure to complex choices through templates, scenario analysis, and deliberate pacing, so decisions can stand up to time and scrutiny.
Conflicts, handled deliberately
Cordis operates with a bias toward simplicity and transparency. Where potential conflicts may arise, we surface them early, address them directly, and ensure the principal retains clear, informed control.
