About

Advisors Asset Management, Inc. (AAM) provides portfolio supervisory and evaluation services to AAM‑sponsored unit investment trusts and portfolio management for separately managed accounts, and serves a broad client base that includes individual investors, high‑net‑worth clients, banks, pensions, corporations, broker‑dealers and other investment advisers. The firm also acts as adviser or sub‑adviser to mutual funds and exchange‑traded funds, offers model portfolios and wrap‑program participation, and distributes access to selected third‑party managers.

AAM’s investment process is centered on a quarterly Investment Committee that sets a macroeconomic consensus used to guide tactical duration, credit and sector positioning across its fixed‑income and equity strategies; the firm uses fundamental, technical and charting analysis and can construct both concentrated and broadly diversified portfolios. It manages most SMA accounts on a discretionary basis, routinely uses block trading and an AAM Average Price account for fixed‑income executions, and frequently delegates day‑to‑day portfolio management to sub‑advisors where appropriate.

Operationally AAM differs from many peers by operating as both an SEC‑registered investment adviser and a registered broker‑dealer and by its indirect majority ownership by Sun Life Financial, which links it to a network of affiliated asset managers and distribution entities. The brochure discloses that AAM serves other investment advisers and acts as a distribution agent for third‑party managers, notes that it advertises predecessor performance in its materials, and describes a recently launched private infrastructure fund that intends to convert to a registered investment company and operate as an interval fund.
