In a strategic move aimed at bolstering its offerings, Private Advisor Group, one of the leading independent wealth management firms in the U.S., has announced the inclusion of three prominent investment strategists—Capital Group, Franklin Templeton, and Goldman Sachs—into its proprietary investment management platform, WealthSuite. This announcement was made on October 1, 2025, and signifies a commitment to providing financial advisors with an enriched toolkit for managing diverse client portfolios.
James Sullivan, who heads Advisor Advocacy and Technology at Private Advisor Group, highlighted that the addition of these three firms is a testament to their dedication to offering high-quality investment approaches. He stated that the unique portfolio construction methods and asset allocation options presented by these strategists not only expand the flexibility available to advisors but also enhance the customization process essential for addressing a range of client objectives.
Investment Strategy Overview
The new investment models introduced through this collaboration are tailored to meet various investment goals. For instance, Capital Group has designed model portfolios aligned with five specific investment objectives including aggressive growth, growth with income, and capital preservation among others. These active and passive strategies have been specifically created for Private Advisor Group and include some of Capital Group’s rapidly-growing active ETF strategies, boasting an impressive total asset under management of over $90 billion, which indicates potential for generating excess returns.
Matt Eisenhardt, Head of Advisor Sold Group at Capital Group, communicated that these customized portfolios are gaining recognition as effective solutions for advisors handling intricate client portfolios. The proprietary process used in developing these models aims to effectively meet a variety of portfolio objectives, making it easier for advisors to deliver optimized outcomes to their clients.
Franklin Templeton contributes its open architecture with ETF-based completion portfolios, which provide flexibility through mix-and-match customization with various equity and fixed-income components. Their offerings include options like U.S. equity with or without Bitcoin exposure, as well as different taxable and tax-exempt fixed income alternatives. The firm’s Investment Solutions team leverages risk-based asset allocation and dynamic market analysis to design these portfolios, ensuring they are responsive to market trends.
Jeff Masom, Head of US Distribution at Franklin Templeton, expressed enthusiasm about their collaboration with Private Advisor Group, stating that they are proud to introduce portfolios that enhance flexibility and customization, illustrated by the fusion of traditional asset classes with burgeoning digital assets.
Goldman Sachs Asset Management adds another layer of sophistication by managing model portfolios through its Multi-Asset Solutions team. They utilize a blend of strategic and dynamic asset allocation while continuously evaluating the underlying investments through both quantitative and fundamental research methods. Uniquely positioned to leverage its global insights, Goldman Sachs aims to integrate valuable international market knowledge into its investment decisions, enhancing the relevance of its strategies.
WealthSuite has made a significant impact since its launch in October 2022, enabling advisors to work more efficiently and focusing their efforts on improving the overall investor experience. The platform offers competitively priced, multi-custodian services and an open architecture that encompasses mutual funds, ETFs, blended model portfolios, as well as custom indexing and tax-optimized solutions.
