Capitalize on the pinnacle of investment management. Crafted by seasoned independent portfolio consultants — licensed Portfolio Managers — Managed Solutions harness the power of award-winning funds handpicked from Canada’s top fund companies.
When building each solution, the portfolio consultant delves into markets, sectors, and asset classes with precision, seizing every opportunity for growth and the attention to detail doesn’t stop there. Fund selections are then weighted to harmonize with the target risk profile, overseen by the vigilant portfolio consultant. This unwavering attention ensures that investments consistently align with client objectives across all risk profiles, while staying compliant with KYC guidelines.
Unlike conventional investment models and portfolio funds, Managed Solutions provide clients with a direct view into underlying funds. Witness transparency at its finest as each fund holding is meticulously detailed on statements, including all rebalancing transactions when required.
♦ No annual account fee ♦ Automatically rebalanced ♦
♦ Competitive portfolio fee ♦ Transfer fee reimbursement program ♦
Each Managed Solution is built and managed on Agora’s Turnkey Asset Management Platform (TAMP), a pivotal technological innovation behind achieving optimal asset allocation for every client account, irrespective of the asset level.
Client Benefits
Crafted with precision, Managed Solutions are engineered to help investors achieve financial goals well beyond chasing gains. Designed to navigate ebbs and flows in the market, the goal is to ensure investors stay on track. The approach is all about believing in the enduring success story, not getting bogged down by momentary blips on the radar.
At the heart of our approach lies simplicity with a purpose. Rather than pursue the latest trend, the portfolio consultants embrace a strategy that prioritizes owning broad asset classes. By keeping the construction straightforward and focused on the fundamentals, they ensure a client’s investments are primed for sustained growth over the long haul and prepared for downside risk protection.
