Elevate Your View

Command A Client's Portfolio Outcomes

With Omni Portfolio Overlay, a unique SMA strategy, you define portfolio-level risk, return, income, and tax targets.

This clarity sets realistic client expectations, focusing on portfolio success, not individual investment or asset class performance.

Whether you prefer ETFs, mutual funds, and/or individual securities, Omni seamlessly integrates stock/bond option contracts, proactive tax-loss harvesting, and personalized portfolio design tools for an investment solution uniquely yours.

Define The Attributes You Want a Portfolio to Have

Risk Management

Protect the Portfolio's Downside to a Selected Target.

If the market does not drop below the floor, the protective put's cost is considered a capital loss for tax purposes, and it can offset gains taxes.

Income Generation

Earn Extra Portfolio Income through Call Options.

This income is considered a gain for tax purposes, and it provides an additional return source that has low volatility.

Tax Efficiency

Portfolio-Wide, Tax-Loss Harvesting for Higher Returns.

Omni's "always-on" algorithm methodically captures losses to offset gains taxes. Reducing taxes keeps more money compounding in the portfolio.

Future Sentiment

Dial Outcomes Based on Client Preferences or Your Outlook.

You set the target portfolio floor for each client. This gives you flexibility to decide if the protection's cost fits your clients' risk budgets and horizon.

Advanced Tactics that Set You Apart

Cash + Rebalancing

As market growth causes the portfolio to drift from its target weights, Omni sells option contracts to methodically rebalance while also producing new cash beyond market growth. This income is a new source of portfolio return, and it has low volatility too. Classified as gains for tax purposes, it can be offset by other portfolio losses. With Omni, what had been a portfolio maintenance task, is now a source of additional profits.

Intended Diversification

Volatility smoothing using negative asset class correlations has become unreliable as "correlations between stocks and bonds edged into positive territory in 2021 and remained above 0.5 from 2022 through 2024." (Morningstar.com) Omni allows you to set a defined floor to a portfolio's downside risk. There's no guess work or hoped-for results. Client expectations are set and met.

Net-Positive Contributor

Omni generates cash through selling option contracts according to your preferences. Unlike portfolio dividends and interest income, this cash is considered gains for tax purposes, making it available for tax-loss harvesting. Omni's "always-on" tax-loss harvesting expects to generate tax savings annually. Combined, Omni's new generated income and the tax savings expect to contribute net after-tax cash beyond its 50 bps fee.

Active is Not Core

Traditional active investing has a woeful record in beating the benchmark. Certainly, active has a role, but much more as a specialty portfolio focus.

Core and Satellite

Your client's core (passive) must track to its post-fee, post-tax, and risk-adjusted return metrics; satellites are ideal for making alpha bets (active managers) or sector and passion tilts.

Omni, for a Better Core and Satellite

There’s no denying why passive investing has overtaken active in AUM; it’s simple to understand, low-cost, and a better relative performer.

However, it forces investors to ride along and accept an index’s market return, volatility, and income. The only added-value tool an advisor has is asset allocation, but this has limited risk management ability given increasing asset-class correlations.

Omni, as an intelligent overlay, gives you command over added-value inputs specific to downside protection, enhanced income, and tax minimization, each of which advances how you allocate to Core (passive) or Satellites (active).

Personalized Portfolios Under the Overlay

Model strategies offer operational efficiency, but lack the personalization clients want. Included in the 50 bps strategy fee, Omni gives you the tools to build your own models, replicate existing models, or make stock-by-stock custom portfolios.

With Omni, you can build a low-cost passive portfolio in an SMA using individual stocks optimized for low tracking error to any major index (or tilt it to a client’s values-based desires). Owning individual positions allows incremental, continuous tax-loss harvesting. This is vastly more tax-efficient than being limited to the gain or loss on an ETF or MF. Plus, with zero-cost trading available through Schwab and Fidelity, there are no costs for this personalized index.

Direct Indexing

Fractional share ownership for precise index replication and automated tax-loss harvesting.

Factor-Based Investing

Comprehensive factor data, advanced screening tools, and portfolio optimization to objectives.

Model Portfolios

Create your own ETF of MF model - or replicate one you like - for efficient operations.

While often misunderstood, options are a sophisticated tool widely employed by institutional investors, pension funds, and endowments for conservative applications, just as Omni provides you for your clients.

4 Things to Know about Trading Options

Accurate Backtesting

The Options Advantage

Backtesting options strategies offers unparalleled accuracy. Unlike traditional assets, historical options data provides precise daily inputs: known strike prices, exact expiration dates, and granular daily pricing for every contract. Coupled with definitive daily prices for underlying indices like SPY and BND, this robust data foundation delivers exceptionally reliable performance validation, giving your Omni portfolio manager confidence rooted in verifiable historical results.

Massive Liquidity

Responsive Trading

The immense liquidity in SPY and BND options markets is a game-changer. This isn't just high volume; it means tight bid-ask spreads and the capacity to execute large trades without market impact. This unparalleled depth allows for highly refined trading strategies to hit exact portfolio objectives. Managers can precisely implement hedges or income strategies and optimize capital with confidence, knowing there's a robust market for every component of even the most complex strategies.

Low Counterparty RIsk

The OCC Advantage

The exchange-traded options market boasts exceptionally low counterparty risk, thanks to the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC). The OCC acts as the central guarantor for every U.S. cleared options contract, stepping in as the buyer to every seller and vice-versa. This eliminates bilateral counterparty risk, allowing your Omni portfolio manager to focus solely on strategy, confident that trade obligations will be met due to the OCC's robust clearing process and risk management.

Traded in an SMA

Tailored to Preferences

Trading options in an SMA offers distinct benefits over commingled products like ETFs. SMAs enable precise tax management through Omni's "always-on" tax-loss harvesting for individual client optimization. This allows you to customize option strategies—from income targets to downside protection—to align with each client's unique risk tolerance and financial goals, a personalization impossible with standardized ETFs.
