Our Investment Philosophy
We believe portfolios should be structured to offer investors a reasonably high probability for achieving their goals without undue exposure to risk. A properly structured and prudently managed portfolio is one that is adequately diversified and periodically rebalanced to prevent the possibility of large losses while offering the opportunity for long-term growth of capital. The first key to successful investing is "do no harm".
Being in business a long time has taught us many things about investor expectations and behavior. For example, regardless of our differences, we all have one common goal – that being the desire to earn the highest, most consistent return possible with the least amount of risk. However, different people have different risk tolerances and, more importantly, often respond differently once exposed to risk.
Unless the client has a clearly defined game plan, an adequate understanding of the inherit characteristics of their holdings and a system of accountability it may be impossible for them to hang on through tough times to see the expected results of their particular plan.
