In this user guide, we will demonstrate how to provide an overview of Advisor Investment Assumptions. Advisor Investment Assumptions are a single set of investment assumptions used globally across clients. Advisor Investment Assumptions include model portfolios, asset classes, indices and security overrides, which can be applied to multiple clients. The advisor can base Advisor Investment Assumptions on an existing client s assumptions or create new assumptions.

Client Assumptions must be maintained independently in a client s fact finder. 1. To set Advisor Investment Assumptions - select More from the navigation bar and choose Investment Assumptions. 2.
