Easy online investing with the guidance of a financial advisor
Invest for your future with a digital investment platform that combines the benefits of a personal financial advisor with sophisticated technology. Through our Guided Wealth Portfolios investment platform, you get our experience and expertise with the added convenience and transparency of a 24/7 digital investing solution.
Advisor relationships
While other digital investing solutions, or robo advisors, offer online investment management, many don’t include a direct personal relationship with a financial advisor—unless you’re willing to invest substantial amounts.
With Guided Wealth Portfolios, no matter how large or small your investment amount, you get a personal advisor dedicated to you and your goals. All you need to get started is $5,000* to invest. Whatever your investment goals, we can help you.
Intelligent investing
Guided Wealth Portfolios offers investment management designed to help you pursue your financial objectives. You’ll receive diversified allocations designed for you and your savings goals, and benefit from trading techniques that may increase diversification and can help reduce taxes. By investing with us, you’ll enjoy:
Tax-efficient investing: Through advanced asset analysis, we’ll allocate your assets in a tax-efficient manner and evaluate the tax impact of each trade before it goes through.
Consistent monitoring: Your portfolio is monitored daily, keeping it on track as markets move and rebalancing it as needed.
Tax-loss harvesting: If an investment experiences a loss, we may sell it to offset taxable gains in your portfolio. The investments sold are replaced by similar investments to maintain your asset allocation, so you get tax benefits while keeping a properly diversified portfolio.
Financial advice: We’re available any time you have a question about your account or investing strategy.
* Accounts under $10,000 have a $25 annual fee.
Advisor + technology:
Who does what?
Guided Wealth Portfolios has three major players working together to build and deliver your customized portfolio:
The portfolio designer
LPL Research, an experienced money manager, chooses the investments for the portfolio models.
Your advisor
As your advisor, we review your suggested portfolio allocation to make sure it’s right for you. When your goals or life change, we are available to help you determine if your GWP portfolio will continue to be the right solution for you.
The technology
Sophisticated algorithms are built into the technology. They examine your portfolio every day to see if it can be optimized. These algorithms can trigger rebalancing or tax-loss harvesting to ensure your portfolio stays in line with your goals, creating opportunities to help you save on taxes.
