Citizens Strategic & Tactical Allocation Risk Portfolios Now Available Through Citizens Investment
Services
The expanded investment advisory program makes high-net-worth strategies available to all Citizens Bank
Wealth Management clients
Citizens Bank Wealth Management today announced the expanded availability of its STAR Portfolios, which have been exclusive to
Citizens Bank Private Wealth Management clients for more than a decade. The portfolios are now part of the wide range of
investments available to all investors served through Citizens Investment Services, and are designed to provide access to a broad
array of managers and blend of management styles.
The Strategic and Tactical Allocation Risk (STAR) portfolios are managed by the Citizens Bank Wealth Management Investment
Strategy team, which is independent of Citizens Investment Services.
“Helping clients reach their long-term financial goals is always our priority,” said Larry Seidl, Head of Product for Citizens
Investment Services. “Adding these portfolios to the range of investments available to our clients helps us to meet their diverse
needs.”
Citizens STAR PortfoliosTM are globally allocated diversified portfolios designed around seven core strategic risk
profiles, with tactical positioning for overall long-term risk and return optimization. A proprietary investment management
process, using open architecture and a wide array of managers, seeks to create cost effective portfolios that have historically
generated favorable risk adjusted returns for investors.
“Citizens STAR Portfolios bring together our best thinking about global asset allocation, securities selection and portfolio
construction seeking to optimize risk and return,” said Dan LaPlante, CFA, Chief Investment Officer of Citizens Bank Private Wealth
Management. “Creating a range of investment models that align to seven risk profiles helps us to deliver a consistent offering
while allowing investors to select a portfolio that is right for their financial plan.”
