Communication is the Foundation of Great Planning

We believe in creating and following a long-term plan. We base the frequency and type of com- munication on what works best for you. Our experience has shown us that the best long-term planning is achieved by collaborative problem-solving and dialogue because you, your family, your assets, your documents and your circumstances are always changing. That constant change should translate into actions taken within your plan such as account retitling, beneficiary desig- nations, account structure, risk tolerance, cash flow needs, etc. We can help you take necessary steps to ensure your plan reflects what you want by having regular updates and reviews.

Our Investment Philosophy

Process drives investment success

As the investment manager of your assets, we performmultiple roles. We manage individual security strategies to save cost and improve efficiencies. We select and monitor outside managers when used in your portfolio and ensure broad diversification and good due-diligence. We bring a comprehensive investment solution to the many moving parts that make up your overall port- folio so we are acting in coordination with your goals, objectives, tax planning, income and cash flow needs.

Investment management is risk management

Diversification is the cornerstone of our portfolio management process and it drives the decisions we make. Portfolios are built with exposure to multiple asset classes, many of which have low correlations with each other, thereby reducing the overall volatility of your portfolio. We believe in comparing our returns to the appropriate benchmarks which help us manage risk and make sure we are providing good value to our clients.

Investing is a long-term endeavor

Markets go up and down and investment fads come and go. We believe that portfolio management should be built on sound investment principles using a disciplined approach and independent research. That’s why we don’t use proprietary funds, we do in-depth data analysis, and we use dynamic benchmarks to evaluate both the risk and the performance within our portfolio management strategies.

Active management can enhance returns and control risk

We believe that active management can be beneficial to reduce risk and potentially enhance return versus a passive approach. We actively manage all portfolios utilizing both active and passive investment solutions as necessary.

Costs matter

Though we emphasize active management, we do so with an eye on expenses. Over time, the cost of delivering an investment strategy matters. These include management costs, trading costs, and even the indirect cost of taxes paid on investment transactions. We utilize institutional funds and individual securities strategies to help control investment costs. We evaluate expense ratios as part of our investment management, we don’t accept 12b1 fees, we utilize no-load institutional funds, and we build a portfolio focused on growing and protecting your assets while being cost efficient.

Our investment principles stand the test of time.

A Disciplined Approach Our approach to asset allocation and diversification is based on one simple insight. No one asset class or style always outperforms. No single manager is great at everything. History repeats this story time and time again. This insight informs our diversified approach, and we draw upon our expertise to create a portfolio that can achieve your goals.

Step One: Set objectives

Gathering the Inputs: The most important step in the investing process is identifying and defining investment goals and objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and other personal con- siderations. With this information, we help you document your investment election and detail the investment strategy to be used for the ongoing management of your portfolio.

Step Two: Develop asset allocation

Building the Portfolio: Asset allocation is the practice of spreading risk across a range of invest- ment classes and management styles in order to balance the effect of any single aspect of the market. History has proven that proper asset allocation is the prime determinant of how your portfolio performs.

Step Three: Implement the plan

Building out specific strategies to include in your portfolio requires many considerations. We build a broad implementation plan that fits within the constraints of your asset allocation guidelines, and we ensure that the execution remains consistent with your stated objective and account circumstances.

Step Four: Manage and monitor

A critical part of good investment management is oversight and regular realignment. Constantly changing market and economic factors can derail a good plan. We keep a close eye on your portfolio and will determine when it’s in your best interest to rebalance and when it’s time to replace individual holdings, using rigorous analysis. Our portfolio management teams review the strategy and metrics with our Investment Committee regularly.

Trust us to do what’s right for you.

Portfolios are built with a core approach where equity and fixed income are the “anchor” for the strategy and other asset classes may be used to improve risk-adjusted returns.
