The Five Pillars of a Tax Managed Solution

Your clients have unique risk tolerances, tax sensitivities, and investment preferences. One of the most critical tools for enabling tax management is the use of separately managed accounts. Known as “SMAs,” these are portfolios of individual securities managed by a professional investment firm and typically adhere to specific investment parameters, such as a particular risk level, asset class or style.  

Direct ownership of the underlying securities is one of the most important advantages of SMAs, as this is what enables not only more advanced tax management, but greater customization that helps better align portfolios with investor goals and values.

The Orion Tax Managed Solution capitalizes on the advantages of direct indexing and SMAs to enable greater customization for—and control of—client portfolios.

This solution gives advisors the flexibility to provide clients with portfolios that have exposure across various asset classes, investment styles, factors, and themes. The portfolios are constructed under one of the five main pillars:
