# Managers & Models

### Advisors Increasingly Employing a Core and Explore Approach

As advisors continue to tire of having to explain to clients why it is not prudent to simply own the S&P 500, it is increasingly difficult to be convincing when the advisor's solution is not keeping up. That is leading many advisors to anchor client portfolios in a core model holding they will never have to defend, and that is a broad-based equity market model that is low fee.

For global coverage, the BlackRock 100/0 Global Allocation Model is trending; for U.S. only, the Zacks All Cap Core Model is trending. Most advisors are complementing the core holding with allocations to models not closely correlated to the broad equity market.
