Fidelity Wealthscape allows the adviser to manage a client’s portfolio (or a complex family of portfolios), allowing you to aggregate trusts, partnerships, and retirement accounts. While using the rebalancing and order management tools, you can research hundreds of separately managed accounts and access equity research from such trusted sources as Argus, Zacks, and CFRA. Through Wealthscape, you can research and create client proposals for separately managed accounts. Fixed income research is conducted through Fidelity Bond Beacon. Onboard tools include account rebalancing and reallocation, equity research in addition to mutual fund, and managed account research.
In addition to separate accounts, fee-based programs allow you to include such diverse investment vehicles in your client’s portfolio as limited partnerships and private equity, a necessity for the sophisticated client seeking a balanced portfolio. You can offer your clients comprehensive reports, over and above the printed brokerage statements.
Woodstock Wealth Management, Inc. offers pre and after-market trading on the Fidelity WealthScape platform, as well as trailing stop losses on a percentage or dollar basis. We also allow covered calls and married puts options strategies.
If you have ever considered a fee-based business, Woodstock Wealth Management, Inc. has a seamless transition plan to a fee-based model. If you are currently a fee-based adviser, WWM can accommodate and service your business, regardless of size. We offer a performance fee program to accredited investors that charge the client a 1% advisory fee and up to a 20% performance fee.
