Investment Strategies

Each client has unique investment objectives and constraints; therefore, a portfolio constructed to support those specific requirements and goals is essential. We have developed a core portfolio that is globally diversified and designed to weather market cycles while delivering strong returns over time.

Our portfolios contain a range of different asset classes so that the out performance of certain assets has the potential to balance temporary under performance of other assets. We utilize a core-tactical investment approach. Core-tactical investing is a method of portfolio construction designed to minimize costs, tax liability, and volatility while providing an opportunity to outperform the broad stock market as a whole.

• The core equity and fixed income allocations combine to serve as the nucleus of your portfolio and are invested primarily with low-cost passive investments
• The amount allocated to underlying holdings is based on the investment objectives of each client.
  
• Our model portfolios offer allocations based on conservative, moderate and aggressive allocations.
  
• Globally diversified in low cost, passive, exchange-traded-funds (ETFs) and mutual funds.
  
• Rebalanced semi-annually to help ensure the portfolio remains diversified throughout market cycles.
  

• Our tactical portfolio is comprised of opportunistic investments meant to enhance portfolio returns.
• Tactical investments include:
  
  • Individual Stocks and Bonds
    
  • Sector-specific strategies (Ex: Energy Infrastructure)
    
  • Commodities
    
  • Option Strategies such as covered calls*
