Three Engagement Models
01
You lead,
we support

Prefer to stay in the driver's seat? This model equips you with timely trade signals, strategic insights, and the analytical rationale you need to act with confidence — while keeping final decisions firmly in your hands.

$500 / month
02
A collaborative
partnership

03
Full
delegation

For firms ready to fully outsource their investment process. Fortis becomes your complete investment department — handling research, portfolio construction, execution, and ongoing management — so your team can focus entirely on client relationships and growth.

Outsourced CIO Services

Outsourced CIO Services for Small and Mid-Sized RIAs

Fortis Analytics acts as the investment committee your firm would build if it had the time: model portfolios, research, and a 30-year portfolio manager on call, so you can spend your hours with clients.

Is Fortis right for your firm?

See if your firm qualifies

Fortis works best with firms that check most of these boxes.

  • Independent RIA with [$X–$Y] in assets under management
  • Fee-based practice without a dedicated in-house investment team
  • Want a clear rationale for every portfolio change you can explain to clients, not “the model changed”
  • Spending more time on research and trading than on clients
  • Want ready-to-share market updates and a client newsletter under your own name

Case Studies
How firms partner with us
Every engagement looks a little different. Here are three of the most common ways RIA firms bring Fortis in.
01
Level 1
Escaping expensive, clunky research

This firm was spending over $100,000 a year on investment research that was cumbersome and hard to use. We replaced it with streamlined, institutional-grade research at a flat fee — clearer, easier to apply, and far more cost-effective.

02
Level 2
Filling the gap after a staff reduction

A reduction in staff left one research analyst and trader with more than he could handle on his own. We stepped in to shorten the time he spent researching stocks and to provide clear, defensible rationale for every decision.

03
Level 3
Rebuilding after a disappointing SMA

Following a frustrating experience with a separately managed account (SMA) platform, this firm wanted to customize and rebuild what it offered clients. We helped them design tailored, transparent portfolio strategies they could stand behind.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of firms does Fortis work with?
Fortis works primarily with small and mid-sized Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) and advisory firms that want institutional-grade investment capabilities without the cost and complexity of building an in-house investment team.
How quickly can we get up and running?
Onboarding timelines vary depending on your firm's size and the engagement model you choose. Our team works closely with you from day one to ensure a seamless transition that minimizes disruption to your practice and clients.
Will our clients know we're using an OCIO?
That is entirely your choice. Fortis operates as a behind-the-scenes partner, and many firms choose to maintain full ownership of the client-facing investment narrative.
What if our needs change over time?
Our engagement models are designed to be flexible. As your firm evolves — whether you grow your team, expand your client base, or shift your operational priorities — your level of Fortis support can scale accordingly.
How is Fortis different from other OCIO providers?
Most OCIO providers offer a one-size-fits-all model. Fortis offers three distinct service tiers, a genuinely boutique approach, and exclusive strategies not available through larger platforms — meaning you get institutional depth with personalized service.
