Who is Aptus?

Participate and Protect

 

Aptus is helping advisors grow client wealth more comfortably, going beyond just stocks and bonds. We build on traditional diversification to improve outcomes. We embrace stocks with guardrails, using volatility as an asset class to manage drawdown and enhance portfolio yields.

 

We use a proactive approach to balance risk and return by allocating to areas of higher return (stocks), reducing drawdown and the emotions that come with it, and turning market drawdowns into opportunities.

At Aptus, our mission is to help create better client outcomes, supporting wealth managers in four primary ways:

Capture favorable markets while dynamically managing risk, tax-efficiently

Minimize gap between what the market gives and what the typical investor receives

Protective collars, tax optimization, and strategic diversification

Meet specific client needs with custom portfolio design, reviews, and content

Upside Capture Through Downside Hedging

We Use the Structure of Our Allocation to Address Longevity Risk and Improve Outcomes

At each risk level, we inject more potential return with explicit focus on drawdown. Our disciplined and repeatable approach seeks to stack the deck in the favor of investors.

We believe the optimal strategy is one an investor can stick with, a fragile package in our hands to be taken from point A to point B. Our approach seeks to produce what every investor wants, potential for growth & income with defenses against their most feared risks.

Enhancing Outcomes

Your job is to help clients meet their goals. Part of that is capturing the compounding power of markets, part is making sure the path matches client expectations. How portfolios get from point A to point B matters.
