WisdomTree, Inc. (NYSE: WT), a global financial innovator, today introduces Portfolio Solutions, a WisdomTree Asset Management, Inc. service to empower new and deeper relationships with investment advisors. Whether opting for self-constructed model portfolios or third-party model portfolio providers, Portfolio Solutions offers advisors a robust, scalable, and efficient framework for portfolio delivery.
Portfolio Solutions enables advisors to leverage WisdomTree’s model portfolio and research expertise to help advisors make informed choices on how they deliver and construct portfolios for their clients so they can spend more time scaling and growing their businesses. Portfolio Solutions is comprised of three distinct offerings to help advisors, which include:
For advisor-built portfolios:
- Portfolio Consultations: Offers a personalized in-depth evaluation of an advisor’s model portfolios, including individual model portfolio composition analysis, stress testing, examination of holdings and overlaps, and more.
For outsourced portfolios*:
- CIO-Managed Model Portfolios: Provides access to WisdomTree’s CIO-Managed Model Portfolios designed to satisfy a wide array of client investment goals. Advisors can implement these model portfolios themselves, via model market centers, or on third-party platforms.
- Shared CIO: Enables advisors to collaborate with WisdomTree’s dedicated Model Investment Team to build and manage model portfolios for the advisor’s clients, which includes the option to delegate trading, rebalancing, and tax optimization tasks.
Portfolio Solutions seeks to provide potential benefits for advisors. It helps advisors manage and implement asset allocation decisions, employ a consistent investment and client communication process, save time and resources, and make their practice more valuable. A growth opportunity for WisdomTree, Portfolio Solutions allows us to add substantial value to the advisor’s investment process that the advisor can follow in providing investment advice to its clients.
“More and more, advisors are seeking help regarding their portfolios, and WisdomTree’s goal is to be their strongest partner in the delivery and management of their portfolios and growing their business,” said Thomas Skrobe, Head of Product Solutions at WisdomTree. “We’re excited to provide an offering that enables advisors to collaborate with WisdomTree to help deliver portfolios for their clients so they could spend more time building their businesses and deepening client relationships. We believe that providing a full range of portfolio services is a growth opportunity for the advisors we serve and well-positions us to provide timely insights and drive incremental flows.”
The introduction of the Model Portfolio filter tool marks the first enhancement under Portfolio Solutions, showcasing WisdomTree’s commitment to improving portfolio management and advisor support services. The Model Portfolio filter tool can help advisors find a WisdomTree CIO-Managed Model Portfolio that is most suitable for their client’s needs by offering them the ability to filter by investment objective, risk profile, single or multi-asset class, region, and platform.

Digital assets (e.g., bitcoin and ether) are considered to be highly speculative, involve a high degree of risk and have the potential for loss of the entire investment. Digital assets are subject to a number of risks, including price volatility. Transactions in digital assets may be irreversible, and accordingly, losses due to fraudulent or accidental transactions may not be recoverable. Legislative and regulatory changes or actions at the state, federal, or international level may adversely affect the use, transfer, exchange and value of virtual currency.
References to “digital gold” refer to the WisdomTree Gold Token, a digital token recorded on the blockchain representing electronic document of title to physical gold. The price of gold does fluctuate and may be affected by numerous factors including supply and demand, the global financial markets and other political, financial, or economic events, which may negatively impact gold prices and the value of a WisdomTree Gold Token.
A blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that digitally records transactions in a verifiable and immutable (i.e., permanent) way using cryptography. A distributed ledger is a database in which data is stored in a decentralized manner. Cryptography is a method of storing and transmitting data in a particular form so that only those for whom it is intended can read and process it. A blockchain stores transaction data in “blocks” that are linked together to form a “chain”, and hence the name blockchain. Blockchain technology is a relatively new and untested technology, with little regulation. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud, particularly if a significant minority of participants colluded to defraud the rest. Potential risks also include vulnerability to theft, or inaccessibility, and future regulatory developments could affect its viability.
There are risks associated with investing, including possible loss of principal.
Investors and their advisors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds included in any Model Portfolio carefully before investing.
