Advisors can choose from approximately 1,300 separately managed account (SMA) strategies available from a roster that includes 95 of the 100 largest SMA managers. In addition, advisors can select from over 1,200 mutual fund/exchange-traded fund strategist portfolios available from 86 firms across strategic, dynamic, and tactical investment styles.
