Professor Jeremy Siegel, Senior Economist to WisdomTree and Emeritus Professor of Finance at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and WisdomTree collaborated to bring LPL’s more than 21,000 advisors two open architecture portfolios, offering no strategist fee and a $10,000 minimum, designed to help clients address longevity risks while pursuing capital appreciation and income generation.
“Joining the Model Wealth Portfolios Platform marks an exciting new chapter in WisdomTree and LPL’s relationship. The addition of these models offers LPL’s advisors the flexibility to design a customized portfolio targeted to meet their clients’ individual goals, with the goal of capitalizing on efficiency and maximizing growth,” said Joe Grogan, WisdomTree Head of Distribution, Americas. “With growing momentum around model portfolios, we’re proud to continue expanding our models’ offerings for advisors and to continue doing so on premier platforms like LPL’s.”
MWP offers advisors flexibility, with hundreds of options to choose from to build their clients’ portfolios. Through MWP, advisors can use, build or combine manager models with their own. With the ability to combine up to 20 models in one account, advisors have the flexibility to construct a unique portfolio designed just for their clients’ individual goals, while potentially saving hours of time with outsourced investment selection, trading and rebalancing.
Siegel-WisdomTree Longevity Model Portfolio:
- Brings a unique strategy to investors with mid- to long-range time horizons trying to balance current income needs with longevity risk.
- Is designed with the goal to outperform a traditional 60% equity/40% fixed income portfolio in a risk-conscious manner by structurally allocating more toward equities over fixed income.
- Tilts toward factors such as dividend yield and low valuation ratios to seek higher income generation and outperformance potential.
Siegel-WisdomTree Global Equity Model Portfolio:
- Seeks to provide a diversified exposure to U.S. and International stocks and tilts toward the same factors as the Longevity Model.
“Through collaborations and strong partners, such as LPL, WisdomTree’s Model Portfolios are now available to over 65,000 financial advisors across the country. Adoption of managed models is one of the biggest macro trends in wealth management. We are still in the early innings, and we look forward to introducing many more advisors to our innovative investment strategies,” said Jarrett Lilien, WisdomTree President and Chief Operating Officer.
