It gives advisors access to differentiated investment strategies in a format that is both highly customizable and remarkably simple to deploy.” Quorus’s implementation framework complements MarketGrader’s systematic stock-selection process with SMA account-level customization, ongoing tax-loss harvesting and tax-aware portfolio transitions. For investors entering a MarketGrader strategy with appreciated securities or other legacy holdings, Quorus can manage the transition toward the target portfolio over time with the objective of balancing investment priorities with the tax consequences of realizing embedded gains. Its platform also simplifies administration by allowing strategies and tax management to reside within a single client account, with one statement and one tax report. “One of the most important decisions an advisor makes is the strategy they choose for a client,” said <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=5MpnqNyNkdbpefsXDZd_0wvYbl3FBhiFOJqdUgZift1n-TpvwicNlBGRHPfGCmBtq4rCTS7HoK_XyvhcoSG3by8Ez9adTmN_06QbnxRtyGIdTTjXdmntR4DVgIXv6FCM" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">John Hill, CFA</a>, Co-Founder and CEO of Quorus. “Tax management matters in a taxable account, but it cannot come at the expense of the investment intent. MarketGrader has built a rigorous, transparent process, and we are excited to partner with them on a custom, tax-managed SMA product for advisors and their clients.” The partnership also marks an expansion of MarketGrader’s strategy-development capabilities beyond traditional long-only portfolios. Its new long/short framework applies MarketGrader’s <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=eIyxbsOwgMf5bXhTDlQlOgO79dMtJR6XgZx-RhiixZusR0KFgxS5Zk10YGsQhXzrnDN7tN-Z-63-MH2xE3h-6TQqeTRIqJOs1KcoYJzv841fk91bnlw9u_DSx-1vMupfW9a-o49M5QTCj6ramY2WkJJWJglsUXDmqXcGg1D9ZvA=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="">rules-based company-selection methodology</a> to both sides of the portfolio and can be configured for distinct investment objectives, ranging from equity hedging and diversification to enhanced exposure to MarketGrader’s stock-selection signals.
