Through a Van Kampen Separately Managed Account, you can benefit from many of the same services that institutional investors demand.

What is a Separately Managed
Account?

 


A separately managed account is a professionally managed portfolio of securities owned directly by you with a single, all-inclusive fee based on the amount of assets. Although separate accounts are not appropriate for every investor, they feature a number of benefits, for high-net-worth investors:
 

  • Customization.  Your portfolio can be tailored to fit your investing preferences (for example you can restrict the portfolio from owning tobacco or gambling securities.)
  • Active portfolio management.  Your portfolio is constantly monitored and securities are traded in a manner that seeks to take advantage of developing opportunities and avoid undue risk.
  • Style consistency.  You can be certain that your assets will be managed in strict accordance with the portfolio's stated strategy, without the risk that comes from "style drift."
  • Direct ownership.  Unlike a mutual fund, you own the securities in your account--your money is not commingled with other investors' assets.
  • Tax sensitivity.  Because you own the securities in your account, trades can be executed, in the most tax efficient manner possible.
