Next-generation investors who want to work with a financial advisor are the focus for a new model portfolio offering from Northwestern Mutual.
The firm has launched Signature Portfolios Market Pathway models for investors seeking professionally advised and managed solutions across a range of investing needs, using low-cost, broad-market ETFs.

The models have a minimum investment of $5,000 and five varieties based on investors’ risk tolerances.
"We are excited to deliver a new way for our advisors to serve the unique needs and goals of investors across the spectrum — especially younger clients looking to begin a relationship with a financial professional," said Jeb Bentley, president and CEO of Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Co. "We are keenly focused on supporting the next generation of investors and are proud to offer a new way for our advisors to help them build wealth and greater financial security."
