Key Benefits of the Access Manager Selection Program

Team of Elite Investment Managers 

You have direct access to only the finest quality investment managers identified by one of the worlds foremost investment consultants Lockwood Advisors Inc. Lockwood meticulously evaluates thousands of investment managers in order to arrive at a well-researched short list. From this list, your personal Investment Advisor will help you select the investment managers best suited for your portfolio.

Greater Control and Significant Tax Advantages

Unlike pooled investment programs, the Access Manager Selection Program offers you direct access to investment managers who can manage your investments within a customized portfolio. Instead of owning units within an investment pool, you have direct ownership of the securities in your portfolio. This gives you greater control and flexibility, and enables your investment managers to make strategic buy-and-sell decisions that can significantly enhance your after-tax returns.

It all starts with you, and your needs. Your Investment Advisor will guide you through a comprehensive four-step process designed to help you build a customized Access portfolio based on your specific needs and preferences. As a result of this process, you and your Investment Advisor will gain a clear understanding of your investment goals, risk tolerance, investment time horizon, income needs, liquidity requirements and more.

• Establishing your investment objectives.
