Managed Portfolios

Managed Portfolios are investment vehicles constructed by a variety of assets - stocks, bonds, options, commodities, mutual funds and hedge funds. By combining asset classes that exhibit inverse behavior, Managed Portfolios can reduce portfolio risk as measured by volatility and enhance returns over time. Managed Portfolios are long-term investment vehicles best suited for investors who have a minimum of five year investment horizon.

Itaú Private Bank International offers a selection of Managed Portfolio strategies - from highly conservative to aggressive according to our client’s risk profile. Professional portfolio managers are assigned to monitor each investment strategy. These highly experienced professionals are responsible for the selection of individual instruments for each portfolio. Due to market volatility, this is not a capital-guaranteed product, which means that client could lose part of the principal amount invested.
