Managed accounts vs. brokerage accounts

If you’re seeking professional portfolio management where you pay a single asset-based fee, consider a managed account. If you prefer to work with an advisor on a per-transaction fee basis, a brokerage account may be a better fit.

Managed accounts

Investing can be complicated. Market uncertainty, shifting investment landscapes and complex financial options can be a lot to manage on your own. Our financial advisors have the expertise to manage day-to-day investment decision-making and offer ongoing investment advice.

  • Work with a financial advisor to develop your investment strategy.  
  • Hold either your entire portfolio or portions of it within a broad range of accounts.
  • We meet with you regularly to review your investments and adjust as necessary.

Managed accounts should not be considered as a recommendation for your portfolio without a formal review of your individual financial needs and situation by a financial advisor. With any investment, there’s the possibility that assets will depreciate.
