The Colony Group announced the launch of its latest investment offering, Colony Fund Portfolios, an actively managed, turn-key mutual fund solution. The Colony Group has been managing mutual fund portfolios, as well as portfolios of individual equity, fixed-income, and other securities, for over 20 years, but traditionally the firm has offered its services only to wealthy investors and institutions. By providing access through Colony Fund Portfolios, The Colony Group will extend its substantial expertise in fund selection and portfolio construction to a broader range of investors -- at fees lower than typical market rates.

At this time, five Colony Fund Portfolios are open to new investors: Colony Conservative Portfolio; Colony Conservative Growth and Income Portfolio; Colony Growth and Income Portfolio; Colony Growth Portfolio; and Colony Aggressive Growth Portfolio. Each portfolio is comprised of approximately 15 no-load or load-waived mutual funds carefully selected by The Colony Group's investment professionals.

Elisabeth Talbot, Chief Market Strategist of The Colony Group, explained the offering: "We draw on decades of collective investment experience and success to create responsible asset allocation strategies. We then diversify our client portfolios across a broad range of asset classes using carefully screened mutual funds. Importantly, however, we make tactical changes whenever necessary to account for changing market and economic trends. We also monitor and update our portfolios to address certain fund-related changes, tax considerations, and various other investment-related circumstances."

Talbot described the rigorous analytical process behind Colony Fund Portfolios. "The Colony Group invests primarily in fund managers, not funds. This means that we are focused first and foremost on evaluating the performance of active managers over time and under different conditions, with a view toward forecasting the relative performance of their funds.

"We see Colony Fund Portfolios as an excellent investment offering for investors of all sizes. Each of the five portfolios has a track record of approximately 10 years and has delivered performance of which we're very proud."
