Multi-Asset Model

Model ETF portfolio optimized for interest rate risk in fixed-income and equity duration. By adjusting weightings for interest rate risk and volatility across multi-asset and sector ETFs, a customized portfolio follows.

Private Asset Model

Private assets are used to diversify asset allocation. The interest-rate sensitivity of private assets has risen substantially such that private assets themselves require interest rate management. The ETF model adjusts asset allocation for “private asset interest rate risk.”
