Asset Management – Great Lakes Advisors

Asset Management – Great Lakes Advisors


Your dedicated portfolio manager offers customized, proprietary asset management services to private clients, supported by teams of seasoned research and economic professionals. We work in tandem with your financial advisors to ensure a tax efficient strategy, as well as one which complements all components of your Wintrust wealth strategy – from banking to estate services.

A complementary financial plan serves as a starting point, to quantify your goals and explore an optimal asset allocation model to create and manage a customized, diversified portfolio that reflects personal risk tolerance, return and yield expectations, liquidity needs, tax considerations, and time horizon.

Our portfolio managers and investment committee bring decades of experience to the overall investment process. Separately managed accounts are built upon a common philosophy resulting in consistent alignment with our proprietary strategies.

On-going monitoring of assets under management offers insight into potential risk.

Multi-Asset Strategies - For clients in search of an investment portfolio diversified across asset classes, we combine our equity and fixed income styles within an open architecture format, offering benchmarks to offer a clear understanding of performance.

Fixed Income Strategies - We offer unique fixed income strategies for private clients, designed to outperform an agreed benchmark, with most portfolios laddering across a curve to diversify rate exposure, sector concentration, tax efficiencies, and credit risk.
