Emphasizing Quality and Fairness

Our model portfolio investment strategies strive to provide you with the same experience as every other account no matter the size or the tenure of your portfolio with us, all while giving you the individual treatment you deserve. Model portfolio investment strategies have many advantages:

  • You receive the same price and execution on changes to the model portfolios as every other client.
  • Any changes to the model portfolios also change the structure of each account assigned to the model. Each account is updated instantaneously upon adjustments being made so your portfolio won’t miss a beat.
  • We provide clients with opportunities for multi-model strategies (holding more than one model) to allow diversification and minimize your risks. If your goals include preserving your wealth while also generating income, our multi-model strategies are there for you.

Our model portfolios are constructed from the top down. As part of the selection process, we begin by looking at all possible securities in the market. Next, we look at the highest-quality benchmarks to ensure we are selecting from the highest-quality pool of stocks possible.

From the selected benchmark, we focus on a particular investment objective. Once a pool of securities has been identified, we construct a model portfolio of holdings based on proprietary technical and fundamental analysis. Below are a few examples displaying this selection process.

We offer a selection of 24 model portfolios comprised of either ETFs or individual stocks that encompass a range of investment objectives as well as a range of risk profiles. By utilizing the model portfolios we are able to provide you the exact same time and price execution of trades as other clients within the same model.

These models allow our professional advisors to construct a unique portfolio curtailed to each clients’ investment profile. Although not all model portfolios are shown, below you will find our most popular strategies.

Volatility Targeting Models (VT)

The three volatility targeting models we offer (3VT, 6VT, 10VT) provide clients with multiple solutions to add a dynamic allocation to their portfolio. The models target a set annual standard deviation of returns through a dynamic exposure to an S&P 500 large cap index ETF. The models rebalance monthly and therefore generate trades on a monthly basis.

Below is a table that shows the backtest results of each model compared to the S&P 500 Index.
