Model-based account management refers to discretionary accounts where advisors execute trades following a predefined model portfolio. Client consent is crucial as advisors must adhere to fiduciary responsibilities and ethical standards. This consent is typically obtained through agreements and clear disclosure documents when opening such accounts. The necessity for client approval ensures alignment with the investor's risk tolerance and financial objectives.
Tax loss selling and solicitation are unrelated to the operational mechanics of model-based accounts, while the emphasis on short-term use contradicts the long-term nature of these accounts.
