Our Trade Execution Services support model-based portfolio management, including implementations, periodic rebalancing, and systematic cash management (i.e., with one-time or periodic deposits or withdrawals). Our Advisor clients can direct the trading of their client accounts’ or can delegate to us subject to specific guidelines provided and predefined tolerances.
We can apply advisors’ models, custom models developed with our Portfolio Consulting practice, and/or third-party models. We can implement and maintain assigned model portfolios at an account or household level. With household level management, we can support Asset Location considerations. In addition to periodic tax loss harvesting, we can also implement tax sensitive transitions of non-model holdings.​
Studies repeatedly document that most active fund managers underperform their benchmark. Similarly, most active portfolio allocation strategies consistently underperform simple blends of the major asset class indexes of stocks and bonds held through a full market cycle.
​
Our sub-advised Strategic Managed Portfolios provide low-cost access to the Efficient Frontier of global equities and U.S. investment grade bonds allocated strategically to serve clients through market cycles.
​
-
We offer allocations across the spectrum of risk tolerances, utilizing carefully selected low-cost ETFs that we deem to have best-in-class characteristics
-
These portfolios offer disaggregated allocations which accommodate beneficial periodic rebalancing, tax loss harvesting, as well as precision in the consideration of preexisting legacy / low-basis holdings
-
We offer Core, Tax Aware, and Customized Tax Aware versions, as well as simplified allocations for smaller account sizes
