GeoWealth, a modern turnkey asset management program (TAMP) built for advisors, announces the availability of Franklin Templeton Model Portfolios, on its platform.
GeoWealth’s open-architecture platform supports both advisor-managed and third-party model portfolios, enabling RIAs to achieve and maintain scale while delivering custom solutions to investors.
The multi-asset model portfolios are managed by Franklin Templeton Investment Solutions (FTIS) and represent their best thinking in model portfolio construction and underlying fund selection. The models are managed to help RIAs on the GeoWealth platform to build, implement, and maintain portfolios attuned to client risk profiles across asset class, style, sector, and region with the end goal of producing superior risk-adjusted returns.
The Franklin Templeton Core Multi-Manager Model series include eight target allocation portfolios as well as an ‘Alternative Completion’ model, for advisors seeking the benefit of liquid alternatives in client portfolios. The Franklin Templeton Core Multi-Manager series allocates to a well-regarded mix of underlying funds from Franklin Templeton’s specialist investment managers as well as third-party active managers. The models utilize a mix of active and passive vehicles to achieve desired portfolio exposures in a cost-efficient manner.
“Today’s investors are seeking diversification and proper risk management to reach their financial goals,” said Colin Falls, President of GeoWealth.
“At the same time, RIAs enjoy the power of choice and the ability to build models as they see fit, given an investor’s appetite for risk. Our purpose-built platform provides the flexibility for advisors to blend advisor-managed and third-party models in the RIA way, maintaining control, branding, and customization.”
FTIS manages $137B in assets (as of June 30, 2021), specializing in strategic asset allocation and tactical positioning, fundamental and quantitative research, active integration, and risk management. Franklin Templeton has been managing multi-asset portfolios for more than 70 years and has been delivering custom model portfolios since 1999.
