Fiduciary Resource Center

CLS Investments, LLC is partnering with numerous TPA and Record Keeper providers across the nation to bring a simplified approach to the unbundled retirement market.

When you use CLS’s kStar product as your fiduciary provider, receive access to:

  • ETF (exchange traded fund) portfolios professionally managed using our risk budgeting methodology, which takes into consideration the plan participants’ individual risk tolerances and financial goals
  • Resource Center for advisors and plan sponsors, featuring video and written commentary, performance, quarterly monitoring reports, and more
  • Education support from our wholesalers and business development team at enrollment and review meetings

Plan sponsors and advisors can choose to add a mutual fund or ETF line-up as an option to complement our managed ETF models available to participants.

CLS Investments, LLC provides investment fiduciary services and may serve as a section 3(38) defined investment manager under ERISA. CLS investment strategists and portfolio managers, five of whom hold the prestigious Charter Financial Analyst designation, monitor portfolios daily and use a disciplined investment strategy that helps investors manage risk and achieve optimized returns. ETFs generally have lower expense ratios and trading fees, are more transparent than mutual funds, provide broad diversification, and tend to generate fewer capital gains than mutual funds. You should also be aware that ETFs carry similar risks to those of stocks and that returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
