Smartleaf: How Overlay Portfolio Management Changes Workflows

Separating Guidance, Security Selection, Customization and Rebalancing Leads to Better Daily Operations for Wealth Managers.

Cambridge, MA – April 24, 2013 – Smartleaf, a leading provider of overlay portfolio management solutions since 1999, today released the second installment in their introductory white paper series. The series discusses overlay portfolio management technology and its implications for investment firms, portfolio managers and investors.

How Overlay Changes Your Workflow,” provides a glimpse at the daily operations of wealth management before and after implementing an overlay system. The paper discusses how firms using overlay implement investment guidelines, how they customize and tax manage accounts, and how buy lists and research get reflected in investments. It also outlines options for separating rebalancing, customization and model creation, providing firms with the option to divide roles that were previously combined. Firms can assign such roles to those best suited to the task, increasing efficiency and strengthening each firm’s core competencies.

“With our second white paper, we want to help people understand what their world will look like on a day-to-day basis with overlay,” says Smartleaf President Jerry Michael. Each white paper in the series is available on Smartleaf’s website at: www.smartleaf.com/whitepapers
