By using the Model Comparison Tool and Portfolio Builder, along with exploring manager traded strategies available through SMArtX, advisors have a full suite of supporting tools to deliver a full asset allocation strategy to your clients.

Advisors can search for a manager and/or model by name, by keyword or by using the filter feature

The filter feature allows the advisor to select different attributes that help to pare down the number of models based on the manager’s categorization of their strategy along with quantitative statistics of the models themselves

Advisors can tag a model as a “Favorite” by selecting the star next to any model for easy reference later

Users can customize the columns displayed and the order they are in by selecting the setting button (gear icon) on the top of the search grid. The customized view will be retained by the system until the user makes a change to the settings.

Each model has its own dedicated page, called a microsite, with multiple sub-pages for advisors to review

Each microsite will contain:

The full fee assessed by SMArtX to implement and maintain a model in a client account is called the model delivery fee

SMArtX Quick Reference Guide - Investment Products - 052023

Advisors can find the model delivery fee on the search grid of the Investment Products page in the column marked “Fee”

The model delivery fee is also displayed at the top of the Disclosure page of a model’s microsite

Advisors can see the top 5 long and short (if applicable) holdings of a strategy on the bottom of the Statistics page of a manager’s microsite

Advisors will not see the full holdings of a model until an allocation has been made to that strategy

Model holdings and the associated weights are considered proprietary information to the model managers and therefore are not displayed ahead of an allocation being made

Once an allocation to a strategy has been made, an advisor can see those holdings by selecting View Holdings from the Account Details page for a specific client

Advisors can use this tool to compare an existing portfolio of holdings against the

holdings of the strategies available to them on SMArtX to help find a seamless transition into a new model

Any strategy that has at least 1 position overlapping between the provided portfolio and a manager strategy will be returned as a potential match for the advisor to consider

Users can see the number of positions, share quantity and account value that overlap with each potential matching strategy to decide on a model to allocate to

Users are able to build a full asset allocation in this tool combining multiple models and generating a full historical performance profile for a client to review

The total portfolio level investment minimum required to invest in the suggested portfolio is calculated for the advisor

A detailed proposal including portfolio performance, statistics, fees (optional) and tear sheets can be generated in a clean, white labeled PDF ready to be delivered to a client
