Investment solutions · Axxcess Platform

An investment team behind your firm, at a fraction of the cost of building one.

Advisors are asked to run a practice, serve clients, and act as chief investment officer at the same time. The Axxcess investment team, led by CFA® charterholders, takes on the third role: model construction, manager selection, allocation, implementation, and ongoing oversight, as a fractional service that scales with your firm and is delivered through your brand.

Available to firms on the Axxcess Platform under the IAR affiliation, incubation, and enterprise TAMP models.

Two services, one team

A portfolio manager for your accounts, and a committee for your process.

Use one or both. The fractional portfolio manager does the work inside client accounts. The investment oversight committee gives your firm the documented process a regulator, a client, or an acquirer expects to see.

How it is delivered

Vendors sit between you and your client. We sit behind you.

A model marketplace gives you someone else's portfolios with someone else's name on them. An outsourced CIO from Axxcess works the other way around: the models carry your firm's investment philosophy, the commentary goes out under your brand, and when a portfolio manager joins a client call, they join as part of your team. Your clients see one firm. Ours does the work behind it.

Talk to the team
Delivered through your brand, inside the same platform that runs your billing, reporting, and trading.
What changes for your firm in the first quarter.
  • An investment policy statement for each model, drafted or reviewed, that your firm can stand behind.
  • A weekly call where positions, managers, and the watch list are reviewed with your team, not for it.
  • Models implemented across accounts through the platform's trade order management, not by hand.
  • A written record of every committee decision, ready for an exam or a due-diligence request.
How engagement works

From discovery to ongoing oversight in four steps.

Discovery and IPS

We document your investment philosophy, client segments, risk parameters, and constraints, then draft or review the investment policy statements that will govern each model.

Model design

Models are built to your policy from 400+ SMA and sleeve strategies, direct holdings, and third-party managers, with sleeve-level fee schedules and stress tests in the Axxcess Allocator.

Implementation and trading

Accounts are mapped to models and traded through the platform's trade order management. Rebalancing, cash management, and tax-lot handling follow the rules set in discovery.

Ongoing oversight and reporting

Weekly oversight calls, quarterly committee meetings, watch list updates, manager reviews, and market commentary, with minutes and reports your firm keeps on file.

Why firms outsource this

Four things you get back when the CIO role leaves your desk.

Scale

Model creation, allocation, implementation, and monitoring for every account, without hiring an investment team ahead of the revenue to support it.

A dedicated PM

A named portfolio manager who knows your models, joins your calls, and can sit with your clients when the conversation turns to markets.

Trade order management

Outsource trade order management and allocation entirely, so rebalances, contributions, and withdrawals are executed by the same team that built the models.

A CFA charterholder team

Investment decisions made and documented by a team of CFA® charterholders who have managed assets at global banks, fund managers, and family offices.

Pairs with the UMA/UMH platform for sleeve-level implementation and the alternatives platform when models call for private markets.

Questions advisors ask first

Control, branding, and where the work happens.

Do we have to use Axxcess models?

No. The service starts with your investment philosophy and your policy statements. Your existing models can be reviewed, refined, and implemented as they are; new models are built to your specifications; or you can adopt models the Axxcess team maintains. Most firms use a combination.

Will our clients see Axxcess or our firm?

Your firm. Market commentary, model documentation, and reports carry your brand. When a portfolio manager joins a client call, they are introduced as part of your investment team. Axxcess appears where regulation requires it and nowhere else.

We already have an investment committee. How does this fit?

The oversight committee service can plug into your existing structure: our team prepares the materials, joins your meetings, and keeps the minutes, while your committee retains its authority. Firms without a committee can have one stood up, with a charter and a cadence, as part of discovery.

How does trade order management outsourcing work?

Once accounts are mapped to models, the Axxcess trading team executes rebalances, contributions, withdrawals, and model changes through the platform's trade order management system, following the rules set during discovery. You approve the policy; the team runs the trades and documents them.
