WisdomTree Remains Focused on Open Architecture
ETF Model Portfolios for Financial Advisors
WisdomTree Investments, Inc. (NASDAQ: WETF), an exchange-traded
fund (“ETF”) and exchange-traded product (“ETP”) sponsor and asset
manager, and PIMCO, a leading global investment management firm,
announced today that the two firms are collaborating1 on three
WisdomTree ETF model portfolios in which PIMCO’s fixed income ETFs
will be added. These ETF model portfolios are available to advisors
in the Model Market Center on the TD Ameritrade Institutional
Platform and through AdvisorEngine.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with PIMCO, a leader in fixed
income investing, to provide advisors with best-in-class model
portfolios. WisdomTree is focused on developing solutions that
align with advisor preferences – for instance, we know advisors
typically prefer to use investment products from multiple managers
and, as a result, we’ve prioritized taking an open architecture
approach when it comes to our models,” said Tom Skrobe, WisdomTree
Head of Client Solutions.
Eric Mogelof, MD, Head, U.S. Global Wealth Management for PIMCO,
added, “We are excited that ETFs from PIMCO’s suite will be
included in WisdomTree’s models. We believe that financial advisors
will benefit from this collaborative effort.”
Financial advisors are increasingly utilizing model portfolios
that are created in-house or by third-party asset managers. There
are a variety of reasons an advisor may want to use model
portfolios as a resource as they seek to achieve their clients’
financial goals. Even with sophisticated in-house tools and
expertise, building and analyzing portfolios can take a significant
amount of time and other aspects of an advisor’s services can often
take higher priority.
Skrobe continued, “ETF model portfolios allow advisors to access
cutting-edge portfolio construction tools with the potential
ability to manage assets in a more efficient way. As a result,
advisors can spend more time building quality relationships with
clients and prospects.”
WisdomTree’s ETF model portfolios are designed to give investors
a unique way to access the global markets, going beyond basic
market-cap weighted indexes. With risk profiles ranging from
conservative to aggressive, the models incorporate WisdomTree’s
Modern Alpha™ approach, combining the outperformance potential of
active management with the benefits of the ETF structure.
