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.
