About

Ascentis Asset Management provides sub-advisory portfolio modeling, model portfolio construction and signaling services to other investment advisers and Unified Managed Account (UMA) program sponsors rather than directly managing underlying client accounts. The firm delivers model portfolios and implementation guidance to primary advisers and Platforms, with arrangements that can be discretionary or non‑discretionary depending on each sub‑advisory agreement.

Ascentis builds asset allocations and selects underlying investments using charting, fundamental, quantitative and technical analysis, and it can create custom models or sleeves based on parameters set by the primary adviser. Implementation generally occurs through third‑party Platforms and UMA programs, and Ascentis also develops Model Funds and Model Products that may be included in those model portfolios.

Notable features in the brochure include that Ascentis does not directly custody or manage client assets and instead receives advisory and model‑related compensation from primary advisers and a portion of Platform fees, and it discloses a fee‑sharing arrangement with a third party broker‑dealer. The firm also offers subscription signaling services, includes real estate funds and precious‑metal ETFs in its investable universe, and notes that some supervised persons are registered representatives of broker‑dealers—each of which the brochure highlights as potential conflicts to be considered.
