Third Party Models

A $2M account, one year, one model. Four rebalances on the model's own schedule, selling what the model sells. Nothing is chosen for tax.

Low-basis holdings make every sale taxable. Vise transitions the account into the manager's model within the client's annual tax budget, harvesting losses to offset realized gains.

Who it's for
The firm already committed to a manager
The firm standardizing its own book
The firm integrating an acquisition
Whose models can I access?
BlackRock, Dimensional Fund Advisors, Alpha Architect, and more on the way. Blackrock and Dimensional Fund Advisors approve access themselves; Vise will arrange an introduction.
Is the manager advising my client?
No. The manager provides the model. Vise trades it as sub-adviser, and your firm remains the client's adviser.
Does Vise tax-manage a third-party model?
Yes. Vise runs tax aware optimizations to track the model and harvests losses across the account.
Can a model sit with other strategies in one account?
Yes, in a single UMA with shared restrictions and one tax budget.
Can I move an existing portfolio into a model?
Yes. Vise transitions the account following the tax budget you set for each client.
Can I customize a manager's model?
Down to the security level, unless the manager restricts it. Restrictions, screens, and targets carry over from the client's IPS.
Can I add a manager Vise doesn't offer?
Yes, and it takes about 4 to 8 weeks depending on the manager and custodian.
Does Vise get paid to feature managers?
No. Vise takes no shelf-access payments.
Which custodians support it?
Vise integrates with Fidelity, Schwab, BNY Mellon, BNY Pershing, Goldman Sachs, Raymond James, and Altruist, with more on the way. All integrations support real-time data feeds for cash and positions, straight-through trade processing, and automated daily reconciliation.
What does it cost?
Vise charges no access fee for a third-party model. The manager's own fund expenses still apply.
All investments carry the risk of loss, and fixed income investments are no exception. Fixed-income securities are subject to market, interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall, which can result in a decline in the value of the portfolio. Additionally, issuers may experience financial distress or default on payments of principal or interest (credit risk). Not all fixed income securities are liquid, and the adviser may be unable to sell certain holdings at a favorable time or price (liquidity risk). There can be no guarantee that the investment objectives of the portfolio will be achieved.
