Inside the PM Team
CLS provides clients with innovative financial solutions delivered through multiple investment strategies.

Existing Portfolios – services for clients with existing mutual funds or variable annuity accounts

You may feel confident in the investments you have selected; however, if you are like most people, questions can arise when the market and economy change. If you’ve wondered when is the right time to make portfolio changes or which investment options to consider, CLS can help you find the answers. CLS's risk budgeting methodology helps determine when, where and how to invest. The assets are made up of your existing mutual fund and/or variable annuity assets. When market conditions change, CLS reallocates your assets within your mutual fund family or annuity sub-accounts in an effort to help you take advantage of favorable market trends and avoid areas of the market that are underperforming.

With CLS Investments, clients can:
  • Maintain current investment vehicles
  • Increase diversification by investing in multiple asset classes
  • Control risk and manage volatility
  • Increase potential for capital appreciation
  • Receive professional management based on personal risk budget


CLS believes risk budgeting is a critical element in creating client portfolios. A client’s risk budget is based on his or her individual financial goals, ability to handle risk, and overall time horizon.

Separate Accounts – individual stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds (ETFs) customized by the CLS Portfolio Management Team

Your investment portfolio can put you on the path toward financial freedom. However, thousands of investment options, a sometimes volatile stock market, and an ever-changing economy can make choosing the right assets complicated. CLS can help you make difficult investment decisions like when, where, and how to invest.

With CLS Investments, clients receive:
  • Increased flexibility over a traditional separate accounts portfolio
  • Lower internal expenses
  • Reasonable advisory fees
  • Increased diversification by investing in multiple asset classes, fund families and market segments
  • Tax considerations

With CLS Investments, clients receive:
  • Increased diversification by investing in multiple asset classes, fund families and market segments
  • Controlled risk and managed volatility
  • Increased potential to grow principal investment regardless of the current market environment

It’s your money. Take it – and CLS’s professional money management – with you.

With CLS’s Rollover Option, clients can:
  • Continue to work with a financial representative
  • Keep money managed between jobs
  • Reevaluate risk as needed
  • Maintain growth in the account, even after retirement
  • Realize old dreams or pursue new ones


CLS has rollover options for different needs:

LIFESTYLE OPTION

Time passes, life changes. Even as life gets busier, you still want your money managed in accordance with your goals. When your life changes, so does your portfolio with CLS professional money management on your side.

With CLS's Lifestyle Option, clients receive a customized risk budget that adjusts annually with the approaching retirement horizon. Begin at your comfort level – not with a pre-conceived model – and continue to move toward more conservative holdings at your own pace as you get closer to goals. Stop the automatic adjustments whenever you’ve reached your comfort level. With so much freedom, you’re sure to find the right level of risk for your portfolio.

Contact your HR Department or your financial representative for information on either the Rollover or Lifestyle Options.
