Asian provider of B2B digital wealth management solutions, Quantifeed has launched a model portfolio of the most valued brands in the US market.

Following this, the model portfolio had a higher representation of sectors which were more visible to consumers such as consumer staples and technology.

Quantifeed’s senior quantitative strategist, Gaudi Schneider, said: “This strategy can also work to the advantage of financial advisers who may be looking for straightforward ways to engage clients in investment discussions.
