Investment Management

I primarily work with clients who utilize Separately Managed Accounts. As an experienced professional, I help select investments and monitor their performance alongside specialists at Wells Fargo Investment Institute to help ensure your portfolio remains invested in line with your objectives.

What is a Separately Managed Account?

An SMA is a type of investment vehicle comprised of individual securities such as stocks and bonds, but may include mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and/or cash, all managed by a professional money manager.

Since the structure of an SMA allows investors to own the individual securities in the portfolio directly, it provides the following unique benefits:

Customization

Investors can request that their specific portfolio(s) be customized in a variety of ways by excluding specific securities or social sectors.

Tax efficiency

Investors have the potential to manage taxation of gains and/or losses through various tax-harvesting strategies.*

Transparency

Monthly statements and quarterly performance reports provide details on the overall portfolio and individual securities, so investors can understand how their investments are performing.

Professional money management

Money managers focus their entire careers on managing investments by developing disciplined approaches to buying and selling securities.

Quality

Investment strategies available at Wells Fargo Advisors are carefully evaluated by the Wells Fargo Investment Institute on an ongoing basis, focusing on qualities such as experience, performance, management capabilities, and investment philosophy.

All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no guarantee that an investment manager will achieve the objectives of the portfolio. Since no one manager/investment program is appropriate for all types of investors, this information is provided for informational purposes only. We need to review your investment objectives, risk tolerance and liquidity needs before we introduce appropriate managers/investment programs to you.
