Diverse choices, more freedom…

The Advisor SolutionsSM platform empowers you to act as advisor (non-discretionary) and manager (discretionary).

Desktop access to research and performance reports, efficient frontier analytics, and sample asset allocation models created by Jackson Investment Management allow you to build and manage model portfolios for your clients. Complete with a 5-step proposal process, Advisor SolutionsSMSM streamlines procedures for you and your clients.

5-Step Proposal Process

  1. Define Assets - Input the client's current holdings
  2. Profile Client - Determine the client's risk tolerance via questionnaire or through prior client knowledge
  3. Select Product - Choose a pre-built model or select individual positions.
  4. Generate Proposal - Upon completion of the proposal, an investment policy statement and supporting documents will be generated.
  5. Finalize Proposal - The final step of the proposal allows the advisor to modify the client fee schedule and select the option(s) on how the account will be funded. This selection will populate the necessary documents to process funding.
