Our Philosophy & Process

Our philosophy is rooted in our beliefs. We believe it is our duty to honor our “fiduciary oath.” We believe it is our duty to have a solid understanding of our clients. They come to us with pre-determined biases, concerns, goals, needs, dreams and financial tendencies. Some of these will change over time and some will not. As a result, we are vigilant in our responsibility to explore who our clients are and what they aim to achieve. Using our three–pronged approach: Explore, Execute, Educate & Monitor, we carefully calibrate client data with current market conditions, economic indicators and other external factors, to create a well orchestrated plan consistent with client goals and risk tolerance level.

Our investing style is grounded in core tenets that support our overall philosophy :

  • Diversification and Asset Allocation are crucial.
  • Market Timing: sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. Knowing when to employ certain strategies is key. Some of these strategies include; periodic investing, dollar cost averaging, lump-sum investing, periodic rebalancing, tolerance rebalancing, cash flow limited rebalancing.
  • Know thy Client: In determining whether to utilize an active or passive management approach, we will review various factors such as portfolio turnover and taxes, volatility, liquidity and transaction costs, income and capital gains.
