Retirement Planning
Investment & Portfolio Management
Diversification: Asset allocation is widely accepted as the primary determinant of long-term portfolio returns as well as the volatility of returns.
Perspective: Investors who take a long-term approach to investing and can withstand short-term volatility of markets, historically hold a comparative advantage over investors with a short-term view.
Risk Control and Knowledge: The ability to identify and adjust risk exposure is critically important to an investment portfolio. In addition, investors should understand the various shapes and forms of risk they incur with any investment.
Insight: Our advice is based upon well-founded principles and is thoughtfully and consistently applied to our client’s portfolios.
Based on these principles, our portfolio construction process emphasizes the following:
- To define and adhere to strategic asset allocation targets, designed to improve a portfolio’s risk and return profile.
- The potential reduction of fees and taxes, which can serve to enhance portfolio returns over time.
- The inclusion of alternative asset classes, which can enhance the risk-adjusted return of an investment portfolio. Such assets may include investment strategies that are non-correlated to stock and bond markets, as well as commodities and precious metals.
Disclosure:
Please keep in mind that diversification does not assure a profit, or protect against loss, while alternative assets have their own specific risks and potential drawbacks.
