Betafolio offers discretionary managed access to Dimensional’s science-led systematic portfolios across 17 platforms

Betafolio, Timeline’s low-cost, turnkey MPS, is offering Dimensional’s popular Core Wealth & Core+ Wealth Models on a discretionary managed basis. These portfolios are offered alongside the full suite of Betafolio models and advisers using the DFM will also benefit from Timeline’s leading financial planning software as part of the package*.

The popular Core Wealth & Core+ Wealth Models, designed by Dimensional Fund Advisors,  are highly regarded by advisers and offer six combinations of equity and fixed income, ranging from 100% fixed income to 100% equity.

A stress-free investment proposition

Historically, advisers have had to manage these models themselves under their own permissions, and undertake rebalancing in line with quarterly updates from Dimensional. With Betafolio offering the models as discretionary managed portfolios, advisers can benefit from Dimensional’s research-driven, systematic framework, without all the time, risk and cost associated with running the portfolios themselves.

The investment team at Betafolio, led by Nicki Hinton-Jones CFA, will have full oversight and will manage all the risk and rebalancing in collaboration with Dimensional, giving advisers a Central Investment Proposition they can rely on.

Widely available across multiple platforms 

All the models on Betafolio, including these Dimensional portfolios, are available across 17 platforms making these previously conceptual models an easily accessible reality for the majority of advisers.

Ed Carey, Chief Commercial Officer at Betafolio, explains: “We’re over the moon that we can announce this partnership with Dimensional. Betafolio has a natural synergy with Dimensional through our closely aligned investment philosophies. This combination of investment expertise and cutting edge technology is a truly compelling option for advisers looking to streamline their business, reduce costs for themselves and their clients, and reduce risk – all while creating excellent client outcomes.”

Sam Whybrow, Chartered Financial Planner at Thanks Wealth Planning, explains: “It has been around five months since I switched to Betafolio. More and more now I am convinced Timeline and Betafolio is the only solution I should be using. Betafolio has been a revelation and Timeline is a revolutionary tool that helps me to explain difficult concepts to clients in a meaningful way. Coupled together they are a dynamite solution. I couldn’t do without either. Plus, all the staff I have met are tremendous.”

John Romiza, Co-CEO Dimensional Fund Advisors Ltd, adds: “Dimensional has worked with some of the most innovative and successful advice firms around the world for more than 30 years. Betafolio’s investment approach is very close to Dimensional’s and it’s great to be able to work with people that can make our models available to more of those forward-thinking advisers.”
