“With support from industry leading advisor technology and marketing providers, we are thrilled to officially launch Portfolio Target, a digital advice solution that helps advisors more easily connect with clients in search of next-generation investment solutions,” said Dean Cook, President of FTJ FundChoice. “We want Portfolio Target to serve as an extension of each advisor by helping improve their value proposition for sustainable, long-term growth. To ensure that Portfolio Target met this standard, we assessed the current digital advice landscape and spoke with advisors on what they felt they were missing in other offerings. We ultimately chose to create a digital solution that allows for strategist-led and custom portfolios, offers thorough risk analytics, and provides extensive opportunities to private label along with supplemental marketing and PR materials to help promote Portfolio Target to advisors’ prospects and clients.”
How It Works:
- Advisors complete Portfolio Target set-up building model portfolios (using third-party strategist offerings or creating their own custom portfolios), setting their fees, choosing their investment story, and completing all private labeling settings.
- Advisors guide their clients to their self-branded Portfolio Target website via a link on the advisors’ website or a given URL.
- Client digital experience begins with the client indicating their investment goal – retirement, current income, or wealth accumulation.
- The client answers a series of investment lifestyle questions.
- Portfolio Target calculates a personalized score to identify investment options.
- A proposal with the advisor’s recommended investment portfolio is generated for the client’s viewing.
- The client opens an account electronically, signing digitally with DocuSign.
In addition to Portfolio Target’s private-label marketing options, FTJ FundChoice is providing advisors with supplemental marketing and PR materials to promote Portfolio Target to their clients. FTJ FundChoice is offering a client-facing, online instructional video that will be in the advisor’s branding and can either sit on the advisor’s website or be shared via a URL. FTJ FundChoice is also offering client-facing press release templates to help advisors easily announce this new technology to prospects and clients.
FTJ FundChoice continuously innovates and vets industry partners for the benefit of their advisor clientele. In addition to today’s Portfolio Target launch, FTJ FundChoice has added American Funds to its list of available third party strategists, giving advisors access to six new mutual fund models: American Funds Preservation Model Portfolio, American Funds Income Model Portfolio, American Funds Balanced Model Portfolio, American Funds Growth and Income Model Portfolio, American Funds Growth Model Portfolio, and American Funds Global Growth Model Portfolio.
