Investment Philosophy

Each financial situation is unique and requires a personalized approach to investment management. Our primary objective is to help you define and achieve your financial goals within parameters appropriate to your situation.

Some clients have the need and temperament to pursue high risk, high return investments. Others require a conservative, income-oriented approach. We design an investment portfolio to match your goals, your assets and your risk tolerance.

Our investment philosophy begins with modern portfolio theory. This Nobel Prize winning theory demonstrates why combining different asset classes determines a desired investment return with minimum risk. Based upon such market mechanisms, and the results of your strategic plan, we design investment strategies that include the systematic disciplined use of the following:

• Best-of-breed money managers
• High-dividend and/or other Opes internally managed asset strategies
• Index funds
• Oversight and/or transition of existing appreciated holdings
• Tailored liquidity or diversification strategies for stock option positions

We mix passive and active money management utilizing best-of-breed managers, and our own unique investment strategies where appropriate. We create transition accounts for clients to handle single stock concentrations or mixes of appreciated securities where the tax implications are significant. When applicable to a client’s specific situation, we use a high-dividend strategy that blends the income of bonds with the appreciation potential of stocks.

A qualified and experienced financial advisor is personally responsible for your analysis and making recommendations to you. This individual works for you, not for transaction-based commissions. Our team’s fiduciary responsibility standard exceeds the existing standard currently provided by much of the financial services industry. We select separate account investment managers, proprietary index funds and mutual funds based on well-defined internal criteria and measure the results continuously.
