Empowering Wealth Managers with Tailored Portfolio Solutions

Customization Trends in Wealth Management

In the dynamic landscape of wealth management, the demand for personalized portfolios is on the rise. Investors now expect their wealth managers to craft portfolios that align with their unique circumstances and beliefs. This shift has led to customized portfolios becoming a crucial differentiator for wealth managers and advisors. However, historically, offering tailored portfolios has been challenging due to cost implications, operational hurdles, and technological limitations. Recent advancements, such as the move towards low or zero trading fees and the development of innovative technology solutions, have made it possible for firms to provide personalized portfolios on a larger scale.

The Power of Charles River’s Tailored Portfolio Solutions

Charles River's Tailored Portfolio Solutions, driven by Qontigo's Axioma Portfolio Optimizer engine, empowers wealth and asset management firms to deliver high-value portfolio customization at scale. With this platform, firms can efficiently manage the construction and trading of in-house models, third-party separately managed account strategies, and Direct Index programs tailored to each individual investor's needs. This solution enables wealth managers to adapt portfolios according to client-directed or manager-initiated constraints, allowing them to replicate the performance and risk attributes of a chosen benchmark within the client's portfolio.

Key Capabilities of Tailored Portfolio Solutions

Charles River's Tailored Portfolio Solutions provides a range of capabilities to enable wealth managers to offer highly customized portfolios efficiently.

Direct Indexing replicates index profiles while applying operational constraints. Additionally, portfolio optimization technology drives the customization process by building portfolios based on specific objectives and constraints.
