Consulting
Our signature offering is the Comprehensive Portfolio Evaluation, a detailed analysis of the risk, return, and diversification aspects of model portfolios submitted by financial professionals. The report seeks to identify, quantify and explain the sources of and contribution to risk and return in a portfolio.
Our portfolio analysis platform is powered by a suite of proprietary and institutional-grade technology, and the award-winning Natixis Portfolio Clarity® Portal helps enhance the portfolio construction process through a highly interactive user experience.
For clients with more complex requirements, we offer a range of custom analytics including portfolio stress testing as well as a full service consulting program.
Asset Allocation
Experienced consultants provide financial professionals with timely insights on market events and their potential impact on asset allocation and portfolio construction.
Natixis Portfolio Clarity® also maintains an investment committee that meets weekly to evaluate economic and capital market data and establish recommended portfolio allocations. Committee members have wide-ranging experience in multi-asset allocation, and seek to generate superior risk-adjusted returns compared to the average professionally managed moderate risk profile portfolio.
The Investment Committee’s monthly positioning updates and quarterly strategic asset class outlook are available to our consulting clients.
