When it’s time to start thinking about saving for your retirement, you might want to consider investing in a product that offers a professionally managed investment solution, such as fund of funds or a wrap product, which is chosen to align to your personal financial situation. That's where managed solutions come into play.Â
What is it?
To understand managed solutions, let’s take a step back. A mutual fund is a selection of stocks (and other securities) that is often grouped by geography, size, or type of investment. A managed portfolio solution could be described as a “combination of funds” that may be made of varying geographies, sizes, and types of investment. This solution further diversifies your investment portfolio – all in the same investment.Â
Why consider managed solutions?
Investing in managed solutions makes sense because they wrap all the critical aspects of intelligent investing into one, neat package. The benefits to you include:Â
- Professional management, including a range of investing styles
- An investment mix that’s automatically rebalanced based on your specific risk levels, as the weighting of individual securities will be automatically adjusted as market conditions change
- Diversification of holdings to optimize performance and risk in a single solution
- Affordability – as compared to purchasing individual securities and/or mutual funds
- Flexibility and liquidity
