Third Party Models

Target Allocation and ESG models, in allocations from all equity to all fixed income.
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.

Most clients don't
start from cash
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
Your investment committee picked BlackRock, Dimensional, or Alpha Architect years ago. The models aren't the question. How they're traded is.
The firm standardizing its own book
Hundreds of one-off portfolios, one model lineup. Vise moves each account onto its target inside the gains budget you set, at whatever pace each client's tax situation allows.
The firm integrating an acquisition
You've bought a book someone else built. Vise reads what's actually in it, maps each account to your models, and prices the tax cost of moving before you commit.
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.
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.
