Helping Advisors Scale Their Retirement Practice

For an advisor, scaling their business requires a constant balance between attending to current clients’ needs and working to establish relationships with new clients. Under normal circumstances, monitoring the market and adjusting plan lineups and responding to client requests accordingly can consume a large portion of your time. The saying goes, business owners should be spending more time working ON their business than working IN the business. However, in today’s uncertain environment – where market volatility seems to be an everyday occurrence – balancing the management and growth of a retirement advisory practice can be difficult.

American Trust Custody provides a unique set of tools to provide advisors with the opportunity to focus more on the human side of this business — understanding the financial needs and goals of clients, prospects and retirement plan sponsors, and then building a plan to help them get there.

Seamlessly Integrate Professionally Managed Models into Retirement Plans

ModelxChange® Gallery was explicitly created to provide advisors with access to world-class portfolio construction and management expertise. The goal is to alleviate the time and pressure required to build and constantly manage well-allocated investment portfolios and provide advisors with the opportunity to select the model portfolios, or combination of model portfolios that are most suitable for each client or retirement plan participant.
