About

RiverFront Investment Group, LLC provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and a suite of model investment portfolios to a range of clients including individuals, trusts, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, corporations, and registered investment companies. The firm delivers these strategies through SMAs, UMAs, MDPs and wrap‑fee programs and also offers Custom Portfolio Solutions; it additionally serves as a sub‑advisor to exchange‑traded funds and offers RiverShares model portfolios that can incorporate RiverFront‑affiliated ETFs.

RiverFront’s investment process is built around its Price Matters® relative‑value framework and combines strategic and tactical asset allocation, security selection across global fixed income and equities, and firm‑level risk management to blend value and momentum. The firm frequently implements exposures via ETPs (including RiverFront ETFs), and certain Custom Portfolio Solutions may employ derivatives, covered‑call overlays, and dynamic currency hedging as part of portfolio construction.

The brochure highlights several features that distinguish RiverFront from many peers: it acts as sub‑advisor and sponsor of RiverFront‑branded ETFs and routinely uses those ETFs in RiverShares portfolios, a structure the firm acknowledges can create conflicts it seeks to manage through policies and disclosures. The firm discloses a prior SEC order (consent dated July 14, 2016) relating to historical trading‑away disclosures (including a $300,000 civil penalty and ongoing quarterly reporting on its website), and describes minority ownership and operational ties with Baird Financial Corporation as well as relationships with ALPS, First Trust, and GAMMA Investing.
