Advisor Partners, LLC

 

A customized, tax-managed, core equity allocation.

An index-based approach enables us to truly deliver on the often- made promise from separate account managers of customization and tax management in a core equity portfolio.

Taxes are an expense that erodes investment return. We focus on active tax management (“tax alpha”) through tax loss harvesting in order to offset capital gains occuring either within or outside the account we manage. Tax management can be very effective when coupled with absolute return.

Advisor Partners' index-based separately managed account is also customized to a client’s unique needs, including socially responsible portfolios, restrictions on stocks or industries, or investment tilts (value, high dividend, etc). We can build portfolios from existing stock positions and work within the mandate of the client's tax goals. Our portfolios may be constructed to unwind a concentrated stock position in order to completely offset its inherent added risk; a very common application in working with corporate executives or clients with inherited stock.

Advisor Partners' separately managed account may be funded with cash or individual securities. In either case the client owns

 

individual stocks at the tax lot level (vs. owning shares of fund) and has control over the distribution and recognition of realized gains. The investment advisor remains the architect of the client’s overall portfolio while we manage the core equity allocation.
