Investment Philosophy

We are proponents of modern portfolio theory, which is a lofty way of saying we believe in informed diversification. We seek to diversify through the use of asset allocation models. We also attempt to diversify risk, so that not all of a client’s assets are exposed to uniform types of risk. Diversification allows us to take advantage of a variety of markets through a broad range of investment opportunities. We never “chase” the highest returns but try to protect a client’s asset base while assisting in the accumulation of liquid assets through investment opportunities which have historically produced above-average returns with below-average risk exposure. (However, past performance does not guarantee future returns, and we do not and cannot guarantee portfolio performances.)
