Summary:

On Demand Soon. In order to solve one of the most difficult issues facing advisors and their clients today – Finding Yield in a Low Interest Rate Environment – Axio formed “Outcome Driven Strategies” (“ODS”) a JV with Cornerstone Advisory. ODS broadens the appeal of structured product solutions by providing investors with a fiduciary, systematic investment management of Callable Yield Notes, invested across multiple indices, credits, and time periods. This allows greater diversification, more competitive pricing, and increased performance within the clients’ investments. ODS enables firms to allocate across many investors and look at notes both within model portfolios and as a core allocation in a way they’ve been unable to do before. Please come and learn about our first two strategies:

  • Outcome Driven Income – Core: Targeting annualized return of 5-7% with buffered downside protection
  • Outcome Driven Income – 6.5: Targeting an annualized return of 6.5% – 8.5% with significant downside protection
