The Morningstar OBSR Managed Portfolios service is a discretionary funds management offering designed to meet a targeted range of investment objectives. The service offers financial advisers a holistic approach to client portfolio management by incorporating risk tolerance profiling, portfolio construction, including asset allocation and fund selection, on-going monitoring, and portfolio reporting in one package.
Portfolios are available in five risk/reward profiles: cautious, moderately cautious, moderate, moderately adventurous, and adventurous. Each line-up includes a mix of active and passive investments or passive investments only.
"Discretionary services provide advisors with a straightforward way to manage a proportion of their clients’ assets," Daniel Needham, global chief investment officer for Morningstar Investment Management, said.
"In addition to providing clients with portfolios appropriate for their risk appetite, advisers using the Morningstar OBSR Managed Portfolios service know that each stage of the offering — from risk assessment, to asset allocation, to fund research, to portfolio selection and reporting — is provided and managed by us. We believe that this consistent, fully integrated solution will benefit advisers and in turn the end investor."
