Investment Management and Planning

OUR INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY – STAY THE COURSE

Successful investing requires objectivity, discipline and patience. Investors often damage their returns and lag the market because they make investment decisions during times of heightened market volatility. This emotional response, though normal, is made worse by not having a sound investment strategy or a professional advisor they trust.

We design portfolios people can understand and live with, based on decades of research. We don’t pick stocks or time markets, because research proves the futility of trying to do so. Rather than trying to outguess the markets, we focus on building globally diversified portfolios with the appropriate amount of risk tailored to meet our clients' specific needs.

INVESTING STARTS WITH PLANNING

Our process for investing your wealth starts with planning. Understanding your full financial picture, what drives you, and how you want to live your life, helps us determine the appropriate investment objective for your circumstances, your stated goals, your time frame, and your appetite for and ability to handle risk. We then invest your portfolio, manage it, and review it with you on a periodic basis against a benchmark that is based on your personal goals, and a blended industry benchmark for a similar portfolio with comparable risk level.
