April 16, 2012 by N/A
PLEASANT HILL, Calif., April 11, 2012/PRNewswire/ — Genworth Financial Wealth Management(GFWM), a subsidiary of Genworth Financial, Inc.(NYSE: GNW), today announced that its Genworth Portfolio Solutions (GPS) strategies have crossed the $1 billionmark less than a year after the May 2011launch. GPS reflects GFWM’s philosophy of diversifying client assets across various investment approaches — some designed for up markets and some positioned for down markets — allowing advisors to navigate changing markets with confidence.
Like GFWM’s turnkey, open architecture platform, GPS strategies encompass a broad range of asset allocation approaches, as well as alternative investment strategies, each of which invests in a wide variety of global asset classes. The difference is that GPS has broader investment firm diversification than most clients have been able to attain by selecting from among the investments available on the platform. As a result, clients of all sizes may access more viewpoints and investments by using a single GPS solution.
“GPS has resonated with advisors who appreciate having another choice for combining the asset allocation approaches on the GFWM platform in one easy-to-use account,” said Mike Abelson, senior vice president of Investment & Product Management. “As always, advisors help each of their clients define their goals and outlook as a foundation for choosing a specific strategy. With GPS, the advisor then leverages GFWM’s expertise to select and oversee the underlying investments as well as rebalance the portfolio over time.”
