Neuberger Berman is helping financial services firm KeyCorp enhance its customized portfolio offerings for wealth clients under a newly unveiled partnership.

Over that time, it’s grown into a multinational firm managing $463 billion for global institutions, advisors, and individuals through a plethora of portfolios that include equities and fixed income, as well as alternative investments spanning private equity, real estate, and hedge funds.
By adding Neuberger Berman’s platform to its own shelf of homebrewed investments, Key Wealth has a new separately managed account option that allows it to build tax-optimized portfolios for its high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients looking for long-term growth.
The platform promises to go beyond ETFs, mutual funds, and other tax-unaware strategies by “seeking to provide clients consistent tax alpha with precise tax loss harvesting.”
