Richard Bernstein Advisors LLC

Richard Bernstein Advisors uses a top-down macro framework to drive asset allocation, sector rotation, and theme-based equity selection. Rather than relying on bottom-up stock-picking, the firm makes large allocation pivots based on its view of the economic cycle, aiming to capture inflection points in earnings, valuation, and liquidity. (per the firm's published commentary)

Richard Bernstein Advisors charges an advisory fee on assets under management, typical for RIAs. Minimum account sizes are not publicly disclosed; the firm advises both institutional and high-net-worth individual clients through separate accounts and model delivery programs. (per SEC ADV filings)

Richard Bernstein Advisors uses ETFs and individual securities to express its macro views. The firm's published commentary acknowledges using index-based instruments and sector-specific ETFs. There is no public record of significant use of derivatives or leverage in its core historical writings. (per firm commentaries)

Richard Bernstein Advisors offers both model delivery programs for financial advisors and discretionary separate account management for clients. The firm's model portfolios are used by advisors who implement the allocations independently, while direct clients receive discretionary management. (per the firm's website)
