The People and Process Behind Our Model Portfolios.
A Deeper Look at Our Approach
Professionally-designed portfolios
Our portfolio managers built and manage 10 diversified model portfolios to help you meet your needs, whatever they may be. Each model is constructed to reflect a specific risk tolerance and time horizon and invests in a carefully selected mix of strategically managed T. Rowe Price funds. Diversification cannot assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
Informed by independent, proprietary research
Our portfolio managers regularly collaborate with the firm’s multi-asset and research teams to gain first-hand insights into the markets and the companies within them. These discussions help provide the answers and ideas they need to make informed investment and asset allocation decisions for the model portfolios.
Ongoing professional management
We oversee the model portfolios, carefully managing risk and seeking to maximize value for you—now and over the long term. This means we’re constantly analyzing the markets and making skilled decisions on when to move with the crowd and when to move against it; when to quickly take advantage of market fluctuations, and when to hold tight.
