San Jose, CA (PRWEB) April 11, 2012
Loring Ward announced the release of a powerful new report — the Portfolio Gap Analysis – designed to help Advisors identify specific deficiencies and potential opportunities for improvement in an investor’s current portfolio.
According to Joni L. Clark, CFA, CFP®, Loring Ward’s Chief Investment Officer, “We believe many investors are not well served by their current portfolios. They often take too much risk, have excessive duplication of holdings, and many may be paying too much. The Portfolio Gap Analysis report clearly pinpoints all these issues and helps advisors provide compelling solutions.”
Developed in close collaboration with Morningstar, the Gap Analysis report covers 12 major areas of portfolio analytics, including: asset allocation, asset class diversification, equity concentration risk, fixed income holdings risk, management expenses, trading costs and portfolio efficiency.
Available only to advisors working with Loring Ward, the report quickly and easily shows investors where the gaps may be in their current investment portfolio versus a recommended portfolio.
“This is a real game changer for advisors,” says Sheldon McFarland, Loring Ward’s Vice President of Portfolio Strategy. “While it is powered by extensive data, analytics and research, it is simple to run and creates a significant call to action, especially when it identifies numerous gaps in a portfolio.”
