Guided Wealth Portfolios

Best of Both Worlds - Easy Online Investing With the Guidance of a Financial Advisor

Create your own online investment portfolio with our easy to use digital platform - Guided Wealth Portfolios (GWP). You get our experience and expertise with the added convenience and transparency of a digital investing solution where you have the ability to view and update your accounts at any time.

How It Works

With GWP, you’ll have a financial advisor dedicated to your account, receive diversified allocations based on your financial goals, and benefit from trading techniques that may increase diversification and can help reduce tax impacts. By investing with us, you’ll enjoy:

  • Financial advice: Your advisor will review your suggested portfolio allocation to make sure it’s right for you, and they’re available any time you have a question about your account or investing strategy. When your life or financial goals change, your advisor can help determine if your GWP portfolio continues to be the right solution for you.
  • Portfolio design: LPL Research, an experienced money manager, chooses the investments for GWP’s portfolio models.
  • Consistent monitoring: Your portfolio is rebalanced annually to keep it on track as markets move.
  • Tax-loss harvesting: Your accounts will also benefit from quarterly reviews for tax-loss harvesting opportunities. For example, if an investment experiences a loss, we may sell it to offset taxable gains in your portfolio. The sold investments are then replaced by similar investments to maintain your asset allocation — until it’s appropriate to buy back the original security, so you get the tax benefits while keeping a properly diversified portfolio.

All investing involves risk including loss of principal. No strategy assures success or protects against loss. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a nondiversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.
An investment in Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), structured as a mutual fund or unit investment trust, involves the risk of losing money and should be considered as part of an overall program, not a complete investment program. An investment in ETFs involves additional risks such as non-diversification, price volatility, competitive industry pressure, international political and economic developments, possible trading halts, and index tracking errors.
Rebalancing a portfolio may cause investors to incur tax liabilities and does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.
