Model Portfolios

One investment option in our 401k platform is to choose a model portfolio. These portfolios, always a centerpiece of our plans regardless of the other investment options selected by the employer, consist of mutual funds that, within each category of size and style, meet rigorous standards of performance and cost.

Investments are allocated to the funds in proportions appropriate for each risk level. We can help participants determine which model is most appropriate, whether in a personal conference or through analysis of a completed risk tolerance questionnaire.

To date, about 90% of Byrne plan participants have decided to invest through our models.

The chart below shows how contributions are allocated, and periodically rebalanced, into each of the funds for each model.
