The Appeal of Separately Managed Accounts

In contrast to a mutual fund or ETF where many investors pool their assets together and share a single, common investment objective and outcome, the construction and oversight of a separately managed account offer the following benefits:

  • A customized, uniquely-designed and managed portfolio
  • Transparency of holdings and activity
  • Personalized asset allocation and risk management
  • More flexibility through tax loss/gain selling
  • Accommodation of unique client investment constraints
  • Individual cost basis
  • Portfolio construction based on client’s investment time horizon
  • Liquidity and cash flow considerations

Who We Serve

HIGH NET WORTH INDIVIDUALS

We manage SMA portfolios on a discretionary basis for select investors with a $1,000,000 account minimum. This provides us with the flexibility to react quickly to fast moving markets and changing economic circumstances.

We will discuss investment options with you to determine the most suitable portfolio based on your goals, needs and time horizon. While we offer portfolios with companies of all sizes, Villere has extensive experience and a long history of investing in small- to mid-sized companies.
