Wealth Management

A Portfolio Manager is a trusted and elite professional with advanced credentials and an exemplary track record who offers experience and elevated client service ideally suited to you. Portfolio Managers also have a legal obligation, or fiduciary responsibility, to act with care, honesty and good faith, always in the best interest of their clients. Investment decisions must be independent and free of bias, which often results in a higher level of trust between you and your Portfolio Manager. Over and above this, a few key benefits of working with a Portfolio Manager include

Personalized portfolio management

Receive ongoing investment management of your investments based on your goals and objectives, restrictions, financial circumstances, risk tolerance, and other relevant factors, often outlined in an Investment Policy Statement (IPS). Here, you’ll typically give discretionary authority to your Portfolio Manager to make investment decisions without getting prior approval for each transaction. This is also known as discretionary management.

Written Agreements

An individual written agreement is created, determining how you will work with a Portfolio Manager. This personalized IPS identifies your asset allocation, specific investment strategy, reporting, fees, potential issues, and the types of investments that will be used. This will also outline your ongoing communication strategy, building your trust and confidence in how your wealth is being nurtured.

Fees

Portfolio Managers typically charge a fee based on a percentage of the value of your account, known as a management fee. This fee is fully transparent and reported on your client account statements. Your fees are not paid by commission based on volume of buying or selling investments and can be lower than typical mutual fund fees.

Fair and Flexible

Making sure everyone is treated equally is important. With your Portfolio Manager, trust that you will be as they are able to execute timely trades for all clients, all at once. This ensures everyone benefits equally from market opportunities. Through this, Portfolio Managers also have access to a broad range of investments, including bonds, stocks, ETFs, mutual funds and alternative investments, offering you the best strategies in growing your wealth.
