We had put together an investment group, and we were meeting mutual fund wholesalers and we're trying to keep up with all of the different funds available to put into our portfolios. Quite frankly, it was causing me to have sleepless nights. I had a tremendous amount of anxiety worrying about how were our portfolios performing? Were we using the right funds? Were we rebalancing portfolios effectively? It became difficult and I needed to find a new solution. The PPS Select platform is supported by the Investment Research team. I had a lot of confidence in the Investment Research team at Commonwealth. We came to find out, once we got to using PPS Select, that it took a lot of work off of my plate as well as my operations team, just as important. We knew that we would get proper asset allocation, we would get rebalancing, we would have professional money management. So, our value proposition is to provide a high level of service, and to give good, sound advice. PPS Select is a big part of that.

The PPS Select program, available to clients through Commonwealth advisors, is a wrap program. In a PPS Select account, each client holds a selection of underlying securities, including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds, individual stocks, and/or ETFs, in an asset-allocated portfolio. Each PPS Select account consists of a percentage mix of asset classes, composed of domestic and/or international fixed income and equity and alternative asset classes, such as commodities and managed futures. The client’s funds are invested separately by the manager. Target allocations are subject to change.
