Better Together: Automated Investing with Professional Guidance
As self-directed investors increasingly seek a hybrid service model
combining control and guidance,1 Amerivest Investment
Management, LLC ("Amerivest") , an investment advisory affiliate of TD
Ameritrade, Inc. (TD Ameritrade), announced today it has significantly
upgraded its existing Amerivest Managed Portfolios digital interface,
giving today's investors an intuitive, self-guided online experience
paired with as much or as little human support as they want.
"The first version of Amerivest was introduced more than a decade ago,
before automated asset allocation was mainstream for individual
investors. But today, consumers have come to expect technology to
simplify nearly every aspect of life - including investing and planning
for retirement," said Tom Bradley, president of retail distribution at
TD Ameritrade. "So, we've built out an even better digital interface to
help investors determine goals, track progress towards them, receive
ideas for improvement and better visualize an investment portfolio. The
upgraded technology is complemented by on-demand human support - putting
our clients in control of their online and offline investing experience
to help them pursue their financial goals and dreams."
Whether investors lack time, expertise or interest in managing their own
portfolios, a portfolio professionally managed by Amerivest can help
them feel more confident in pursuing personal financial goals. Amerivest
offers investors an enhanced, information-rich online tool to define
individual investing goals, select an investment solution and track
progress, all with the knowledge that professionals are there to provide
support and guidance. Additional benefits and features include:
-
Five diversified asset allocation models constructed with mutual funds
or ETFs

Personalized online evaluation to define goals, risk tolerance and
time horizon
-
Funds selected by Morningstar® Investment Management LLC
