Build better portfolios with our equity ratings, research and proprietary content

Many advisory teams struggle to access timely, robust, and relevant equity research, which can hinder their ability to make well-informed investment decisions.
 
We offer real-time stock ratings on over 2800 US equities at the ticker level. The ratings are derived from a blend of quantitative analytics and expert analysis, providing a multifaceted view of potential investment opportunities. 

Combined with our committee’s daily market commentary and insights that can be repurposed for your clients, advisors can quickly interpret complex market data and trends, enabling proactive portfolio adjustments that align with client goals.

Differentiate your firm with originality and customization

Many advisors find it challenging to differentiate their services in a highly competitive market. Conventional investment platforms are limited in this regard, with most offerings lacking the flexibility to customize according to the firm or individual client’s needs.

As a firm that has always been a collection of independent minded advisors, customization is our default setting. Therefore, it was an obvious transition for us to offer customization within our OCIO platform. We empower advisors with the ability to choose from a broad range of assets, including traditional and alternative investments, to craft portfolios that suit various investment profiles and objectives.

With support incorporating alternative investments, such as private credit and managed futures, advisors can enhance the diversity of their portfolio offering to attract new prospects.

Collaborate with vibrant community of like-minded advisors

Do you feel like you’re living on an island, operating in isolation with limited exposure to new ideas, strategies, and industry best practices?

We built this Outsourced CIO service offering and platform with you in mind. We know the power of community collaboration and how it enhances the collective expertise of all participants.

Our advisors enjoy a constant stream of meaningful discussions and idea-sharing with peers through our dedicated online forums and Slack channels. We also offer regular webinars led by our investment and research team to help you with new investment offerings and support you in your client-facing discussions with clients.
