Signator Investors Adds Unified Managed Account and Separate Accounts Program to Enhance Managed Account Offerings

BOSTON, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Signator Investors, Inc. recently added a Unified Managed Account (UMA) and Separate Accounts (SMA) program to its Advisor Managed Portfolio and Strategist Managed Portfolios to round out a robust suite of managed account options which Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs) can provide to their clients.  

A UMA offers a diversified, tax-aware, multi-asset portfolio in a single account whose contents are designed to meet clients' specific investment needs. Signator's UMA provides access to institutional quality managers at greatly reduced minimums, with streamlined paperwork and reasonable costs.  Within the UMA, IARs can build customized model portfolios choosing from a selection of SMAs and fund strategists, combined with any equity, mutual fund, or ETF to fund each model portfolio to create the appropriate blend for clients.

Signator's Separate Accounts program provides individual investors with direct access to some of the leading investment managers, many of whom were once available exclusively to large institutional investors. With a separately managed account, clients enjoy direct ownership of the securities in the portfolio allowing for greater flexibility, more control and significant tax advantages over other investment vehicles. Separate Accounts programs appeal to clients seeking a long-term, customized, goals-driven approach to investment planning.

"We are very pleased to strengthen our managed account offerings with these programs that provide top-flight investment options for our advisors to introduce to their clients," said Christopher Maryanopolis, president of Signator Investors, Inc.

With these programs, Signator's managed account platform now provides solutions for a variety of clients and portfolios suited for all types of market conditions with the flexibility for IARs to build customized portfolios. 

"Signator's investment adviser population has increased significantly in recent years, and we're committed to providing advanced tools to help them best serve their clients and grow their business," said Maryanopolis.
