Annual Review

Review Investment Objectives and Constraints

Annual review of the client’s situation and amending the investment agenda to accommodate client changes is another element addressed by Advisor Analyzer. Review of the client’s investment objectives, and constraints and revisions of the IPS is a crucial step to ensure the policy will accurately capture the client’s dynamic financial needs.  

 

Update Changes in Goals and Circumstances

Major life changes can affect the effectiveness of the portfolio allocation, and these changes should be examined annually through return requirements, objectives and constraints.

 

Analyze Investment Performance and Trades

Annual review of portfolio performance and transactions not only captures a client’s investment profile, it also helps assess the advisor’s value added service. Although return objectives may fall short on a period by period basis, the long term return trend should be consistent with the stated return objective formulated.

 

Compare Portfolio Performance to a Benchmark

The IPS should specify, in advance, the proper benchmark measure for performance evaluation and either the benchmark or return objective should be modified to more accurately capture the advisor’s value.

 

Prevent Churning and Excessive Trading

Excessive trading or questionable investments in regards to suitability are also areas of focus, and we provide a system of checks and balances that serve in the client’s best interest.
