MODEL PORTFOLIO RESOURCES FOR INSTITUTIONS

Our funds and services could help you build better models and distribute them more effectively. Contact our team to help optimize your portfolio outcomes.

WHY INSTITUTIONS PROVIDE MODEL PORTFOLIOS

Learn how model portfolios may be delivering compelling opportunities for asset managers.

Reliable source of capital

Mutual funds distributed via models have a higher retention ratio (3 years) versus those distributed individually (1 year 8 months).1

Increase ROI

Models have an average ticket size that is 12x larger than the ticket size of individual funds.  Wholesalers that sell models see a greater return on their time spent with advisors.2

Pursue better outcomes

Through models, asset managers can deliver greater investment value to clients by influencing the entire model and how the individual funds blend together.3
