The service, known as Mainspring Manage, allows an investment adviser to select the core fund lineup for a client’s managed portfolios, the company said.
The service is a formal, goal-based retirement savings and investment plan developed, implemented, and managed by The Standard. Previously, Mainspring Managed was offered only to participants in The Standard’s 401(k) plans.
