Digital Model Management provides a fully-digital way for advisors to deploy and interact with client portfolios, all in a unified managed account framework. The cloud-native application allows advisors to personalize client portfolios in accordance with their financial goals, risk tolerance, tax and fee preferences, and more. Features include:

• Smart workflows with an intuitive setup that follows the relevant steps for each investment change
