We offer a handpicked selection of third-party managed investment accounts that can be customized to meet the needs of advisors and their clients. You don’t have to spend countless hours meeting with wholesalers or pouring over options that are unrelated to your business model and needs.

• Security

Third-party managed accounts also provide the flexibility to allocate a portion of your clients’ assets in areas where you may be unable to offer in-depth expertise. Our Advisory Services team can assist you in selecting the most appropriate accounts managed by third-party investment managers.

Triad Advisors offers three proven third-party management solutions:

Private Managed Accounts (PMAs)

We select PMA managers based on the value they offer to the investor, their ability to support advisors, and their clear differentiating qualities.

Each PMA solution available through Triad Advisors is considered a strategic partnership. We work closely with PMA s and have direct access to their management teams. We’ve secured significant reductions in management expenses over the typical turnkey platforms available to others.

Our group of managers offer a variety of styles ranging from niche specialists to classic strategic portfolio management or tactically managed portfolios. Some manage individual securities; others focus on mutual funds, ETF s, options, alternative investments, or a combination of investment vehicles.

Here’s a partial list of Triad Advisors’ PMA managers:

• Advisors Asset Management
• Al Frank Asset Management
• Aurora Investment Counsel
• Capstone Asset Management Company
• City National Rochdale
• Horizon Investment Services

• Innealta Capital
• Ladenburg Thalmann Asset Management
• Lindner Capital Advisors
• Stadion Money Management

Odyssey

We have collaborated with one of the country’s most respected research and investment firms, Rochdale Investment Management, to develop this asset management assistance system.

Odyssey is a robust, flexible and cost-efficient mutual fund modeling tool designed to help advisors meet the needs of the “mid-net-worth” investor. An advisor can use the system’s in-depth client profile or pick an allocation based on their knowledge of the client. Advisors can select from 90 different implementation strategies.

The Odyssey system can recommend mutual funds to complete the selected allocations (fund selections are also customizable) and monitors these allocations and funds on an ongoing basis. Alerts are sent to the advisor when it is time for a periodic or event-driven rebalance and will, at the advisor’s command, make the necessary trades.

Odyssey allows advisors to provide their clients with a fully diversified, cost-efficient fee-based asset management solution. This program is an ideal way to consolidate directly held mutual fund assets into one convenient brokerage account and receive a reoccurring fee for the ongoing advice provided.

Odyssey accounts can be opened for as little as $25,000. Costs are 35 Basis Points ( BPS ).

Turnkey Asset Management Platforms (TAMPs)

We provide advisors with access to a wide selection of TAMP s that can add value to a practice. They can streamline processes, increase the sophistication of your presentations, and expand the number of investment options you can present to clients.

You can select from several approved TAMP s. Here’s a partial list:

Featured TAMP : Managed Account Solutions ( MAS ) from Envestnet & National Financial Services

MAS can help you create front-end client analytics, select investment solutions, manage assets and generate performance and position-specific reporting. MAS offers world-class technology to generate sophisticated analytical and research reports, client-ready proposals, and detailed performance reporting.

MAS provides fee-based asset management through Separate Managed Accounts ( SMA ), Multi-Managed Accounts ( MMA ), Advisor-Directed Unified Managed Accounts ( UMA ) and Mutual Fund Model portfolios.

Within MAS. advisors have access to over 800 SMA investment disciplines. An advisor may choose to select individual managers on their own or take advantage of the system’s recommendations for high-net-worth client’s needs. SMA s, managers of individual securities, present tax-harvesting advantages over typical mutual fund management.

In MMA and UMA accounts, clients can enjoy the benefits of separate account management, with the added convenience of consolidating assets into a single account. An MMA or UMA combines multiple separate account managers, along with mutual funds or ETF s, into one account structure. Clients may open MMA or UMA accounts for as little as $250,000.

MMA accounts are managed by an overlay manager. UMA accounts provide the advisor with asset management control.

MAS also offers strategically managed Mutual Fund Model portfolios available for clients with a minimum investment of $50,000.
