The institutionally owned advice businesses have largely withdrawn from the market, with the product (portfolio) piece being identified as the major source of embedded conflict. Advisors are now seeking commercially viable operational models to sustain their fiduciary obligations. Integrating an array of portfolio options to meet differing consumer needs and preferences is now a critical component of future advice models.

From low cost to highly customised solutions, DFS Portfolio Solutions can provide a solution that is right for you. Whether you choose a fully implemented solution; prefer a service based approach; or seek investment research services, we will help you simplify and sustain your Practice.

DFS Portfolio Solutions – Your Integrated Investment Partner

Reposition your practice and stay
ahead of the regulatory curve.

The client-adviser relationship is built on trust and this places the Adviser as the key steward when it comes to wealth management matters. Yet, increasing compliance and legislative requirements are compelling the industry to move to a business model that provides fiduciary services in a commercially effective and sustainable manner.

DFS Portfolio Solutions can help you:

  • Experience greater confidence in your advisory practice.
  • Elevate the quality of client engagement with stronger client advocacy
  • Create a sustainable business model for the future.
  • Meet the diverse portfolio needs and preferences of each major consumer cohort
