Smart PortfoliosTM offers multiple portfolio solutions using Dynamic Portfolio OptimizationTM (DPO) process to maximize risk-adjusted returns.
The Smart Portfolios™ Allocation Strategies are risk-managed portfolios seeking to deliver investors steady long-term growth. The objective of these strategies are to outperform a composite index comprised of: 35% Russell 3000, 35% MSCI (ex US) and 30% Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index.
Chosen portfolios utilize global Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) to capitalize on specific market sectors while potentially reducing some of the fees and taxes associated with mutual funds. Current asset classes in the fund universe include: domestic and foreign fixed income, real-estate, commodities, and domestic and foreign equities.
