ShareOwner Investments Launches Canada's First Automated ETF Portfolio Service for Retail Investors
May 27, 2014--Canadian ShareOwner Investments Inc. ("ShareOwner") is pleased to announce the launch of its Model Portfolio Service which helps retail investors build and manage a globally diversified portfolio of ETFs. ShareOwner's Model Portfolio Service provides investors with a systematic approach to managing their investment portfolio that saves time and money by combining low cost index ETFs with optimal asset allocation and automated trade execution and portfolio rebalancing.
ShareOwner's Model Portfolios can provide investors with significant savings over traditional managed mutual funds and advisor-based solutions."Not all investors want to pay the higher fees or have a large enough portfolio to use an expensive financial advisor or broker, but want the benefits of a well-diversified, and continually balanced portfolio," said Bruce Seago, CEO of ShareOwner, "and with most managed solutions costing investors more than 2% per year, a savings of more than 1% per year can add significant value to an investor's portfolio value over time."
