  • Per-holding Suitability Memos. KYC, KYP, reasonably available alternatives considered, and a documented rationale — one page per holding.
  • Send to Sandbox. Hand-off from algorithmic model generation to the Research workspace for hand-tuning — no rebuild from scratch.

Individual stocks — and the guardrails to go with them.

  • 5,550+ individual stocks. Full stock screener with sector, market cap, valuation, and quality filters.
  • Core-satellite construction. Build a diversified ETF core, add individual stock satellites, view the full portfolio together.
  • Stock-specific guardrails. Single-position limits, sector concentration caps, and core-satellite health checks — calibrated by risk profile.
  • Adaptive IPS. Permitted investments, prohibited instruments, and concentration limits auto-update when stocks are in the portfolio.
  • Profitability & valuation screens. Warnings for unprofitable companies, extreme P/E ratios, and market-cap mismatches by risk profile.
  • Mixed-portfolio diagnostics. Character statement, strengths, and watch items now reflect core-satellite structure and stock sector concentration.

A refined interface — and several serious upgrades.

§ 01

Four stages. One decision trail.

Most tools give you a screener. FundMentor gives you the full arc — from shaping the allocation to shipping the paperwork — with every decision documented as you go.

01 · Build

Build

Set the client context, shape the allocation, and create a shortlist. Guardrails and goal-aware logic run in the background.

Model portfolios
02 · Research

Research

Browse 12,000+ ETFs and individual stocks, assemble a sandbox, then stress-test it with Monte Carlo and six historical scenarios before it enters a client plan.

Sandbox & simulation
03 · Review

Review

Upload a client's existing portfolio. See strengths, risks, overlap, and the delta to the proposed model. Export a branded proposal PDF.

Current vs proposed
04 · Adjust

Adjust

Compare current holdings against target weights. Surface the trades needed to realign. Tax-aware for taxable accounts.

Drift & rebalancing
§ 02

Not a screener. A deliverable.

Every session produces something the advisor can actually send or file. These are the artifacts that come out the other end — one click to bundle them all, or pull them individually.

Bundle
01 / 06

Documentation Pack

One click. Bundles every artifact for a client meeting into a single zip ready for the file. The headline output of the entire workflow.

  • Portfolio Review (PDF) · Investment Policy Statement (PDF)
  • Suitability Memo for every holding (PDFs)
  • Holdings (CSV) · Advisor Notes (TXT)
Compliance
02 / 06

Suitability Memo

One page per holding. KYC summary, KYP details, the reasonably available alternatives considered, and a documented suitability rationale — the audit trail compliance asks for, generated as you build.

  • Aligned to CIRO Phase 2 (Joint Staff Notice 31-368, Dec 2025)
  • Aligned to SEC Reg BI Care Obligation
  • Auto-includes peer alternatives with “why not chosen” rationale
Compliance
03 / 06

Investment Policy Statement

A compliance-ready IPS generated in seconds. Target allocation with min/max bands, permitted and prohibited investments, risk guardrails, and a suitability framework keyed to the client's jurisdiction. Auto-adapts when the portfolio includes individual stocks.

  • CIRO CFR for Canada · Reg BI for the United States
  • Stock-specific concentration limits by risk profile
  • Rebalancing policy and monitoring schedule
Client PDF
04 / 06

Portfolio Review

The one-pager advisors actually email. Allocation, holdings, character statement, and the advisor's narrative in plain language. Branded to match the rest of the documentation set.

  • Allocation table and pie chart (normalized to 100%)
  • Portfolio character, strengths, watch items
  • Advisor and client meeting notes
Simulation
05 / 06

Monte Carlo projection

5,000-trial simulation of the portfolio over the planning horizon. Shows probability of success, median outcome, bad-case and good-case tails.

  • Percentile fan chart (5th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 95th)
  • Configurable contributions, withdrawals, and goal
  • Plain-English verdict: strong, reasonable, workable, or shortfall risk
Stress tests
06 / 06

Six historical shocks

How would this portfolio have held up in actual market events? One click runs every scenario and presents them as color-coded cards.

  • 2008 Global Financial Crisis · COVID-19 crash
  • 2022 joint drawdown · +100bps rate shock
  • Dot-com bust · 1970s-style inflation surge
§ 03

Built for the people who sign the paperwork.

FundMentor is designed for professionals whose work is judged on defensibility, not just the Sharpe ratio — and for teams who need that defensibility at scale.

Independent advisors

A workbench that matches your standard of care.

Solo and small-team CIRO- and SEC-registered advisors who want institutional-grade documentation without institutional-grade overhead.

Typical book: 80–400 households
Wealth teams & RIAs

One tool for an entire team's client reviews.

Mid-size wealth management teams and RIAs running model portfolio workflows — with consistent proposals, consistent IPS, and consistent suitability rationale across advisors.

Typical range: $100M – $2B AUM
Asset management partners

A customized workbench, under your brand.

Asset managers and DCIOs distributing model portfolios to advisors — deployed as a private-label decision tool with your models, your compliance posture, your logo.

Available via Clearstone engagement
§ 04

Built around the rules advisors already live by.

Know-Your-Client, Know-Your-Product, Suitability Determination, documented rationale, reasonable alternatives — these aren't afterthoughts in FundMentor. They're how it works.

Canada

CIRO Phase 2 & CFR

Aligned to CSA / CIRO Joint Staff Notice 31-368 (Dec 2025). The Suitability Memo and IPS reflect the Phase 2 expectation that risk capacity be assessed and recorded separately from risk tolerance, with documented rationale, a KYC summary, and reasonably available alternatives considered for each holding.

United States

Reg BI Care Obligation

Documented rationale, reasonably available alternatives, and disclosure of material conflicts — generated at the same time as the proposal, not as a separate compliance step afterward. Output is structured around the SEC Reg BI Care Obligation framework.

All jurisdictions

Documentation as output

Every session produces a suitability rationale, a target allocation with bands, a rebalancing policy, and risk capacity assessed separately from tolerance. The paperwork isn't homework — it's the default output of the workflow.

Clearstone
Advisory · Workflow improvement for financial professionals

FundMentor is one product in a broader practice.

If you like what FundMentor does but want something shaped specifically to your book, your compliance framework, your universe of securities, or your brand — that's exactly the kind of engagement Clearstone is built for.
