Advisory Services

Corporate RIA

Kalos rep/advisors that are Series 65 registered may manage equities, bonds, and mutual funds and elect to charge an asset management fee. Transaction charges do apply.

Registered Investment Advisory

Kalos permits advisors to maintain their own RIA’s. Advisors may choose to hold assets at many of the large custodian firms such as Schwab, Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, and Pershing.

Managed Account Solutions

Through our partner, Envestnet, Kalos rep/advisors have five different managed account options:

1. Separate Accounts:
   You have access to over 50 professional money managers with over 200 collective strategies. The portfolio managers can make adjustments to fit the needs of your client such as restricting the purchase of a particular security or avoiding securities overlap.
2. Advisor Directed Unified Managed Account:
   The Unified Managed Account (UMA) combines the investment expertise of asset managers in multiple investment programs into a single portfolio. This investment strategy brings together the benefits of separate accounts, mutual funds, and exchange traded funds in a single diversified portfolio.
3. Multi Manager Account:
   The Sigma Multi-Manager Account combines the investment expertise of two or more separate account managers into a single, diversified portfolio.
4. Wrap Strategists:
   These portfolios are actively managed third-party portfolios made up of either mutual funds or exchange traded funds. Portfolio accounts are rebalanced regularly.
5. Advisor Model Management:
   You can create your own custom models to help you act as your own portfolio manager. Streetscape, our web-based workstation, allows you to enter block trades and rebalance your accounts as needed.

Kalos Management

In addition to the multiple options for fee-based accounts, Kalos also offers custom money management services for our rep/advisors to use with their clients. We use advanced analytics and modeling techniques to identify correlating and non-correlating holdings that we believe are likely to perform well in both up and down markets. Our aim is to create effective asset selections and optimum portfolio weightings for investors seeking both return and controlled volatility.

Our principals have spent decades in the financial services industry, including years as investment advisors and portfolio managers in the U.S. and abroad. Recognizing the potential of foreign markets, we’ve employed international exposure in our portfolios from the start. All of our principals and half of our staff have lived overseas, giving us “on the ground” experience with the challenges of these markets.

Our four managed portfolios are The Dividend Strategy, The Total Growth Strategy, The Total Return Strategy, and The Diversified International Strategy.
