Investment Management

“A Time-Tested Process for Managing your Assets”

Today’s investors have an important decision to make when choosing a portfolio manager: do they want a manager who follows a Passive approach, investing fixed percentages primarily between stocks, bonds, and cash or an Active manager with the flexibility and latitude to adjust broad allocations between a wide range of asset classes as market and economic conditions change?  We have the flexibility in our managed portfolios to seek investment opportunities across a broad spectrum of asset classes and strategies.

Strategy Selection

Our investment strategies offer investors a stand-alone strategy to fulfill a specific objective.  Through our disciplined discovery and planning process, we seek to match a client’s financial plan with an investment strategy that is designed to maximize the probability of earning at least the required return needed to meet their long-term financial goals and objectives.  

4-Step Investment Management Process

All portfolios are actively managed utilizing the 4-Step investment management process outlined below:

Custom Portfolio Management (minimum of $2 million required)

We know costs and taxes can change everything—particularly for the high-net-worth investor.  We can develop a highly personalized approach by combining internally managed strategies with rigorously selected third party managers.  Customizing a portfolio generally involves customizing the tax management, the investment target, and incorporating outside constraints.  We begin with a thorough understanding of your unique goals, risk tolerance, tax situation, return expectations and liquidity requirements.  Then we carefully construct an investment plan created to help you work towards your objectives and manage your wealth according to your evolving circumstances.

Examples of customization

Personalized Tax Management-Your portfolio can be built around pre-existing securities allowing you to avoid selling positions unnecessarily.  Additionally, capital losses can be harvested on an ongoing basis to help reduce your tax bill and invest more tax-efficiently.  For individuals with large low cost basis positions, gain budgets can be established to allow for a multi-stage diversification process.

Personalized Security/Industry Exposure-Your portfolio can exclude specific securities or industries based on your needs.  This is ideal for individuals who already have significant exposure to a particular stock/industry through various employer plans or would like to exclude certain investments for social reasons.
