A Multi-Strategy Wealth Management Firm Brings Structure and Clarity to Complex, Household-Level Allocation Management
To manage deep customization and household-level complexity, the firm used Global WealthES to connect model construction, optimization, exposure visibility, and alternative asset integration in one allocation environment.
Client Profile
The client is a wealth management firm serving high-net-worth households, multi-generational families, and select institutional relationships. Its investment approach is highly personalized, with goals-based portfolio construction across multiple accounts, ownership structures, tax treatments, and alternative investments. As the client base and strategy sophistication increased, allocation management complexity expanded significantly.
The Challenge
The investment team managed customized models built from both standard benchmarks and proprietary criteria. Maintaining household-level targets across taxable, tax-deferred, trust, and alternative accounts required substantial manual coordination. Alternative assets introduced additional friction, and strategic updates required repeated account-by-account propagation. Pre-meeting preparation for household reviews became increasingly time-intensive and difficult to sustain at scale.
Solution
The firm implemented Global WealthES using Investment Management, Investment Planning, and Reporting & Analytics to establish a connected allocation operating model that supports advanced customization and multi-account household visibility.
- Custom allocation model construction - support for industry-standard indices and self-defined criteria
- Optimal frontier identification and optimization - simulation-backed portfolio decisions grounded in historical risk/return data
- What-if scenario analysis - real-time strategy modeling during client discussions
- Household-level allocation coordination - unified exposure and classification views across all related accounts
- Goal and cash flow integration - allocation decisions aligned with contribution/distribution planning
- Alternative asset integration - comprehensive household exposure modeling including alternatives
- Allocation change and trend monitoring - ongoing oversight at account, household, and firm levels
