TD Ameritrade says registered investment advisors can now access third-party investment models through its Model Market Center. The center is part of its iRebal trading and portfolio platform and includes products from State Street, Goldman Sachs, WisdomTree, Russell Investments and four other firms.
“There’s been so much interest since our soft launch on Oct. 31. We’ve had more than a third of advisors using the iRebal sign up for this, or 1,000-plus advisors,” said Danielle Fava, director of product strategy and development at TD Ameritrade Institutional, in an interview with ThinkAdvisor.
“The tool means advisors do not have to create portfolios from scratch, representing an important time savings for them,” Fava explained. “And this is only the beginning. Model Market Center is an open-architecture platform, and we expect to add more providers and models over time.”

Most investors have probably heard of energy giants Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS-A) (NYSE:RDS-B), Dominion Energy (NYSE:D), and TransCanada (NYSE:TRP). Fewer, however, are likely familiar with their publicly traded master limited partnerships (MLPs): Shell Midstream Partners (NYSE:SHLX), Dominion Energy Midstream Partners (NYSE:DM), and TC Pipelines (NYSE:TCP).

That funding progress is important given an unexpected development in the quarter when the Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC) revised a long-standing policy and will no longer allow master limited partnerships to collect an allowance for income taxes on certain pipelines. That change could have a major impact on the cash flows of TransCanada’s MLP TC Pipelines, LP (NYSE:TCP). While TC Pipelines isn’t sure how much this change will impact its cash flow, it took precautionary actions by slashing its distribution to investors. That payout reduction and the related uncertainty has weighed significantly on TC Pipelines’ valuation. Because of that, Girling said that “further dropdowns of assets by TransCanada into TC Pipelines is not considered a viable funding option at this time,” and he isn’t sure if it will be one in the future. However, he did clarify that even without future dropdowns to TC Pipelines, TransCanada believes it has the “financial capacity to fund our existing capital program through our predictable and growing cash flow from operations as well as several other funding alternatives.”
