Models
Instructions
Advisors can use Model Portfolios to easily invest some or all of a client's assets into one or multiple custom-created portfolios, rather than tediously managing individual investments in single instruments. Models allow the advisor to establish target percentage allocations for the custom portfolio, and to rebalance as desired using this technology. To do so, please follow the steps outlined below.

Add additional positions to the model portfolio by repeating step 5.
