Wells Fargo Advisors’ Envision® process is a tested method to help identify, define, and achieve your goals. Combining goals-based advice with sophisticated statistical modeling, this unique process creates an effective, easy-to-understand method for you to help prioritize and achieve important life goals. The most meaningful part of the Envision process is the way you can review your progress toward the goals and dreams you wish to accomplish. This allow you to always be able to answer the question, “How am I doing?”
Fundamental Choice is a customized advisory portfolio management program that utilizes active asset allocation management with the goal of long-term capital appreciation. Specially trained Financial Advisors manage client portfolios in a discretionary manner, guided closely by the research recommendations and collective insights of Wells Fargo Advisors strategists and external research firms whose services we subscribe to. Each portfolio follows an investment plan customized to the client’s needs and represents a blend of stocks, cash alternatives, exchange-traded funds, select closed-end funds, and allowable mutual funds.
IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by Envision regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. Results may vary with each use and over time.
Envision® methodology: Based on accepted statistical methods, the Envision tool uses a simulation model to test your Ideal, Acceptable and Recommended Investment Plans. The simulation model uses assumptions about inflation, financial market returns and the relationships among these variables. These assumptions were derived from analysis of historical data. Using Monte Carlo simulation, the Envision tool simulates 1,000 different potential outcomes over a lifetime of investing varying historical risk, return, and correlation amongst the assets. Some of these scenarios will assume strong financial market returns, similar to the best periods of history for investors. Others will be similar to the worst periods in investing history. Most scenarios will fall somewhere in between.
