19 Advisor challenges Many advisors we ve spoken with, cite the following: Too much time spent administering, rather than growing, their business Insufficient tools/software for proper analysis, portfolio construction and reporting Too many funds to follow Orphan/legacy positions on the books Need guidance on how to effectively convert to fee-based
20 Benefits of model portfolios Streamlines administrative/maintenance work, freeing up more time Scalable and repeatable Clean and concise Allocations become more disciplined; less emotional and reactionary Effective way for advisors to be more competitive on fees Ability to outsource portfolio construction and reporting to First Asset/CI
