GSAM has analyzed the asset allocation of thousands of advisor managed portfolios over the years and found that many of those portfolios cluster closely together in terms of expected return and risk characteristics. Model portfolios may help to achieve similar outcomes to what advisors are already getting while also helping advisors realign their time, reduce regulatory and due diligence burdens, establish business continuity, and leverage institutional expertise. Model portfolios, like the Goldman Sachs S&P G-MAPs, maybe a tool to achieve the same results in a simpler fashion.

GSAM expects the long post-crisis economic recovery to continue in 2017 and prefers equities over credit and credit over rates. Broadening exposure beyond conventional stocks and bonds, identifying opportunities in emerging markets and deploying more dynamic asset allocation strategies are some ways to adapt.
