How We Work with Clients
Research has proven that a disciplined academic based approach to investment management is the key to pursuing long-term financial success. We work with our clients to develop an asset allocation based investment portfolio that aligns with their personal financial goals and tolerance for risk; we monitor each portfolio on an on-going basis; make changes when appropriate; and, most importantly, stay invested on the agreed upon course. We believe that, over time, this approach to investing will add value and more reliability to a portfolio.
To help us determine the proper asset allocation for a client, we begin by having the client complete an “Investor Profile” that is designed to provide us with information about the attitudes toward specific types of investments, the ability and desire to accept the risks that are inherent with any investment, and the client’s willingness to accept market volatility. We also discuss investment goals and financial objectives for the funds to be invested. Based upon the profile and those discussions, we decide on a specific asset allocation model that is appropriate for the client’s situation. An “Investment Policy Statement” is then prepared that summarizes your investment goals and objectives as well as our investment philosophy, procedures, and duties as an Adviser.
