Coordinating all aspects of your financial life
When specialized experience is necessary, we help coordinate with other professionals to help ensure that all aspects of your financial picture have been addressed. This also helps to ensure that the advice and guidance you receive from your other professional advisors, like your attorney or CPA, is properly aligned with your needs, goals and strategy.
We begin with in-depth analysis
We do not recommend an investment strategy or individual investments until we have prepared a detailed financial analysis of your current financial situation. Once a detailed analysis has been completed we will structure an investment portfolio using comprehensive, conservative, tax and inflation sensitive investment strategies where appropriate.
Your goals drive your investment strategy
Our investment strategies are driven by your specific goals and time frames to manage those objectives. Ongoing monitoring is an essential component of our investment approach. We focus on a number of key factors that can be leading indicators of deviation from historical performance patterns. Our monitoring process gives us the ability to make proactive investment decisions. Key indicators we focus on include:
- Changes in the portfolio risk level
- Style Drift
- Changes in Portfolio Turnover
- Changes in Key Investment Management Personnel
