No one asset class
is always best!
|
|
As you can see, each year
the asset classes changed order in terms of ranking by performance.*
In a manner consistent
with your wishes and financial profile, including
risk tolerance, we consider all investments and tools.
Common problems caused by narrow investment scope,
such as those a fund limited to small cap growth stocks might face
(remember the internet bubble?) are avoided.
Small or large cap,
growth
or value, foreign or domestic, within guidelines approved by you, we
seek maximal returns wherever they are deemed available.
