Investment Process - Asset Allocation

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.

Individual clients utilize us for:

bulletall of their investments
bulletall of their stocks
bulletall of their bonds
bulletbalanced accounts for which we jointly determine asset allocation

Institutional clients utilize us for:

bulletall of their investments
bulletpart of their stock portfolio dedicated to high returns relative to risk
bulletpart of their bond portfolio seeking high yields with minimal volatility

Restating, before investing, you should know what the appropriate asset allocation is given your situation.
