10+ Years of Actively Managing Structured Note Portfolios
Choosing and managing individual structured investment securities can present challenges, particularly across multiple client accounts. Outcome Driven Strategies (“ODS”), offered in partnership with Cornerstone Advisory, provide the benefits of structured investments through professionally managed separate accounts, relieving advisors of the operational and investment burdens that may come with individual Structured Investment purchases.
Why Consider a Separately Managed Account Structure?

- Coupons can be paid in bullish, neutral, or moderately bearish markets
- Net returns above comparable investment grade investments
Operational Efficiency
- Maturities

- Event projections
- All managed by ODS rather than the advisor
Better Execution
- Better product terms negotiated with pooled capital compared to individual investment
- Drive competition within issuer network to improve terms and lower structuring cost
