 Altruist, an all-in-one custodial solution for modern financial advisors, announced new models on its Model Marketplace from BlackRock, Inc.; Redwood Investment Management (Redwood); and State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), the asset management business of State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT). Altruist’s Model Marketplace launched earlier this year with Vanguard, Dimensional Fund Advisors, and the Altruist Simplicity Series (a free set of models for advisors designed to reduce risk and maximize return potential).
“Expensive outsourced portfolio management platforms have prevented RIAs from using top-tier models to build their clients’ portfolios. We’re here to change that,” said Mazi Bahadori, CCO and EVP of Operations at Altruist. “Advisors should have access to better choices for their clients, free from costly, archaic solutions. Altruist will continue to enable independent advisors to tap into turnkey portfolios from the world’s leading asset managers, all in one place.”
