Our Investment Philosophy is simple. We believe in guiding people to live better lives through a rewarding goals-based process. With GDX360, we align your client’s goals through a professionally-managed, multi-strategy investment program that brings together multiple asset classes within a single portfolio.
GDX360 investment policy tools strengthen compliance and promote fiduciary responsibility.
With GDX360, you capture your client’s intentions concerning portfolio management by creating an Investment Policy Ticket (IPT) for each household. An IPT provides clarity and detail to ensure that expectations are set and understood. It can also help shield an advisor from suitability and discretionary-related claims.
We believe in a “team of teams” approach – we value the insight of financial advisors and the feedback they receive from clients on how to continuously elevate service and technology offerings. GDX360 provides advisors and clients an opportunity to collaborate and communicate openly. Updating the client’s plan and IPT to reflect changes in their circumstances or goals is a fiduciary-level service. It’s an open conversation that helps you uncover the specific parts of the client’s investment policy, including:
Wealthcare’s GDX360 takes a modern approach to investing by creating a financial plan that aligns with a client’s specific life goals. Whether that goal is retirement, education planning, starting a business, or milestone travel, GDX360 helps advisors build a personalized financial plan with investment strategies to help them pursue their dreams.
While identifying optimal asset allocations for goals-based plans may seem more time-consuming as each client has distinctly personal plans for their future, GDX360’s forward-paced technology combines the human touch of an advisor with optimized data. It’s a differentiator for advisors not offered elsewhere and an excellent foundation for building deep, trusting relationships with clients.
How It Works
Our interactive and investor-friendly process starts with an open, refreshing conversation. The conversation uncovers what matters most to your clients – their life goals. From there, you begin outlining a client’s goals, and the process then moves to choosing an investment strategy.
At Wealthcare, we believe that financial planning must go beyond traditional methods. Advisors can no longer use static risk scores and cut-and-dry confidence metrics to win the affection of clients. That’s why we pioneered GDX360, our goals-based wealth management platform that combined technology with service.
GDX360 investment strategies offer a goals-based process that aligns your client’s goals through a professionally-managed, multi-strategy investment program. GDX360 brings together multiple asset classes within a single portfolio.
Multi-manager funds offer several potential benefits over other investment alternatives, especially for clients focused on -reaching goals for retirement. They offer the expertise of multiple investment managers in one fund, and multi-strategy portfolios offer numerous opportunities for potential returns while diversifying manager-specific risk. To maximize these benefits, Wealthcare gives advisors access to a thoughtful and disciplined process of manager search, selection and ongoing monitoring.
The Benefits
Wealthcare manages portfolios at the household level, giving advisors greater flexibility in trading and rebalancing, resulting in lower trading costs and a reduced tax impact on clients.
Many firms manage portfolios at the account level. For households with multiple accounts, account-level rebalancing requires more trades as each account is traded to reset the account’s allocation. More trades mean more costs and more bandwidth.
With household-level portfolio management, Advisors look across a client’s entire household to determine a cost-effective way to rebalance. The process reduces the number of necessary trades, reduces costs, and provides clients with a streamlined tax-smart approach for their investments.
