HEATH, TX--(Marketwire - February 15, 2011) - Fund Architects LLC (www.fundarchitects.com), a provider of dynamic asset allocation portfolios designed for a broad range of investors, today announced three-year performance results for its suite of brokerage investment strategies.
Texas-based Fund Architects, which offers a series of dynamic allocation models for brokerage accounts and variable annuity overlays, reported that all eight of its models had outperformed their respective benchmarks for the three-year period beginning December 31, 2007.
Fund Architects, an SEC-registered investment advisory firm, was launched in 2007 with a goal of delivering a range of investments to fit the needs of many different types of investors. Co-founder Todd Porter, CFA, who serves as the firm's Chief Investment Officer, has been developing actively managed fund-of-fund asset allocation products for the last decade.
"We manage for the long term, of course, but it's gratifying to see the performance of our client portfolios during these challenging times," says Mr. Porter. "Due to our active management, we adjusted our allocations and our perspective during a very difficult stretch for the economy."
Porter, who served as Chief Investment Strategist at Morningstar Associates before helping launch Fund Architects, manages and oversees all the firm's investment offerings. Providing what it calls 'institutional-quality money management,' Fund Architects strategies include strategic global diversification, dynamic allocations, high-quality active fund managers, and alternative or non-correlated strategies.
"The driving vision at Fund Architects was to make quality money management affordable and accessible to virtually every kind of investor," says company co-founder and Executive Vice President Keith Reed. "Our independence helps us make investment decisions based solely on what's best for our clients."
Fund Architects has relationships with major custodians and clearing firms and is able to work with self-clearing and trust accounting operations. For more information on the firm, or to access Mr. Porter's quarterly commentary, visit www.fundarchitects.com.
