Core Strategic Models

A total return approach to investing

You never know in any given period which investment approach is going to pay off and deliver the best return. We’ve built the infrastructure so you can deliver what you feel is in your clients’ best interests and work towards meeting their goals and objectives, all with the efficiency of a unified managed account using portfolio sleeves.

The Benefits

The core strategic models have a primary goal of growing the account within the asset allocation guidance framework delivered through a risk or volatility tolerance analysis. These portfolios range from an allocation of capital preservation — typically all fixed income — all the way up to an aggressive allocation, which is generally all equities, to meet the demands of your client.

Tax-Smart Investment Portfolio Models

Tax efficiency matters to you and your high-net worth clients, especially regarding post-tax accounts. That’s why we developed a specific tax-managed or tax-efficient portfolio for each of our core model families with the aim of maximizing client after-tax returns.

Holistic Financial Planning

Holistic financial planning takes a 360-degree look at the client's situation to better understand their short-term and long-term goals for both their life and their money.

Whether planning for high-net-worth clients or the average local retiree—it's about more than just bringing them the latest investment opportunity or finding the right portfolio.

A holistic financial plan offers financial advisors a solution for any individual's economic puzzle. The advisor can develop a one-of-a-kind proposal to maximize their customer's wealth, health, and happiness while minimizing any potential tax pitfalls and managing gaps in the market.

More About Holistic Financial Planning

Practice Management

Building a sustainable and lasting wealth management firm requires vision and action. With the shifting of client needs, older methods for delivering a holistic financial plan are no longer sustainable.

In order to create a business that does not require every hour of the lead advisor’s attention, the business strategy should include plans to manage and build up the talent they bring in, along with a documented structure for how to guide customers through each step of the investment process.

Building a process does not only ensure that clients receive the same experience even if they are not working with the lead advisor. It also ensures that compliance reviews for best interest practices are easier to prove when the process has been well-documented
