Streamline your investment approach

A streamlined approach to managing your clients' portfolios can help provide the clarity and context your clients need to invest with confidence. Consider the tradeoffs of different approaches to determine what is right for you and your clients:

  • Time: Leveraging models maximizes the time you have to focus on your business and your clients
  • Control: Customizing individual client portfolios means more control over exposures and taxes
  • Oversight: Ensuring suitability of models requires less time than selecting individual investments

Improve business efficiency

Think about your practice. Is it a well-oiled machine or a collection of various parts? An efficient, scalable business begins with you and your team. Clearly define each team member’s role and responsibilities to foster accountability and improve business operations. Then, create scale through a well-defined client segmentation model.
