Before
investing, it is critical to know what types of securities
should be sought. Two reasons:
1.
Historically, about 90% of the rate of return of a portfolio is determined
by asset allocation.
2.
Cash needs, time horizon, and risk tolerance need to be considered.
Money earmarked for retirement in 3 decades should be
handled differently than funds needed for a house in 3 years or groceries in
3 weeks.
When
opening an account, it is important for us to know if we are managing all of
your investment assets or only a portion.
If we are handling the bulk of
your liquid wealth, we will execute a thorough assessment of your goals,
attitudes towards risk, and other
facets that should affect the manner of managing your funds. If we are
assigned only a portion of your wealth, we will work with you to determine
the investment objectives of our part of your portfolio.
