How to Navigate the Targets Allocation Model

Updated over 4 months ago

What are Targets

Targets are an asset allocation model.

This functionality allows the advisor to create a single portfolio consisting of third-party strategies as well as individual securities. Which can be saved and applied across multiple accounts and multiple custodians simultaneously.

On an ongoing basis the SMArtX platform will automatically trade the portfolio for any third-party strategies and will prompt a rebalance request for any individual securities.
