Advisor Partners, LLC was founded in 2001 as an investment advisory firm providing a broad range of sophisticated investment solutions to a select group of independent advisors and financial institutions. Advisor Partners is a wholly owned subsidiary of Advisor Software (ASI), which acquired Advisor Partners in 2009.
The firm’s original specialty was in constructing and managing highly customized, tax-managed, core equity portfolios for the high net worth clients of the professional investment advisor. Comprised of individual securities, each equity portfolio seeks to replicate the performance of an assigned index and is closely tailored to the investor’s specific financial circumstances and preferences.
The firm’s product line has expanded since its founding. Advisor Partners creates socially responsible portfolios for clients who want portfolios that are aligned with their personal beliefs. The firm also manages thematic beta strategies targeting specific style, capitalization or quality objectives. The Managed Asset Allocation Program (MAAP) utilizes ETFs and mutual funds to create globally diversified portfolios for advisors who want a turnkey asset management solution.
The newest product, the High Quality Dividend Yield (HQDY) strategy, draws upon the capabilities of AP in active and passive management, creating diversified dividend-oriented portfolios comprised of high quality U.S. companies.
The firm is based at 2175 North California Boulevard, Suite 400, Walnut Creek, CA 94596
