Portfolio Services

Janney Montgomery Scott LLC offers our clients and Financial Consultants comprehensive fixed income portfolio review and analysis tools.  The fixed income department also produces timely reports and articles relating to portfolio strategy and maintenance.  You can access the reports here.

The fixed income department also provides automated reports with daily pricing and holding updates.  Sophisticated analytic features help identify potential swap ideas or other potential changes.  Clients can receive a before-and-after view of any swaps or changes to their account before any trades are ever made.  Also, a shock test/horizon analysis feature is available to help determine if changes to the account should be considered during times of interest rate volatility.

Our Financial Consultants can have proposals prepared that are tailored to meet each client’s unique situation.  Perhaps the client has a change in investment objectives, career situation, state of residence, or is planning for retirement or a child’s education.  Each situation creates different opportunities, and our Financial Consultants have the necessary tools to determine the most effective investment instruments.

In addition, Janney Financial Consultants have access to our municipal and taxable fixed income traders to keep up-to-date regarding the latest events affecting the fixed income markets.
