ETF Allocation Model Program
NBWM - powered by ETF Global® - developed a suite of portfolios that are available for you to invest in online or on your mobile device.

For those who enroll in the Program, within minutes you will receive a recommended portfolio based on a few questions that assess your investment goals and risk tolerance. We will review your portfolio based on our knowledge of your investment goals for the account and will continue to monitor it based on your needs. This service provides discretionary money management for a fee*. Portfolio management services are provided by members of NBWM team.
NBWM has chosen to work with SPT, who will provide the technology and platform to help us complete trading, and at our direction, will use software to automatically trade and re-balance portfolios when they drift from the targeted asset allocation by a defined amount. Additionally, each quarter, ETF Global and NBWM will reanalyze each ETF portfolio, update their rankings, and will re-balance your account as needed to ensure it still meets your chosen risk tolerance.
Portfolios are held in a brokerage account at CS&Co, an affiliate of SPT.

Generally, among asset classes stocks are more volatile than bonds or short-term instruments and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments. Although the bond market is also volatile, lower-quality debt securities including leveraged loans generally offer higher yields compared to investment grade securities, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes. Foreign markets can be more volatile than U.S. markets due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, market or economic developments, all of which are magnified in emerging markets.
