Five areas serve as the foundation of our investment and wealth management philosophy. These are time tested principles that require patience, discipline and a longer time frame. We believe deeply in all of them, follow them regularly, and encourage you to do the same.
Asset Allocation – Ongoing process of rebalancing portfolio risk.
We believe proper asset allocation is an important determinant of return potential in a broadly diversified portfolio. It is important to align investment risk tolerance with long-term investment goals.
Costs Matter – Understanding the Value of What You Pay.
Fees and expenses are an important consideration when evaluating financial products and services because they can affect investment returns over time. We consider costs as part of our overall evaluation and seek to help you understand the fees and expenses associated with your financial strategy and the services you receive.
Diversification – Don’t keep all your eggs in one basket.
Diversification is one antidote to uncertainty. Concentrated investments tend to add appreciable risk with no additional expected return. We believe diversification is also an important component required to work toward long–range financial goals while reducing risk.
Risk - Balancing Growth Potential and Preservation of Principal.
All investments involve some degree of risk, including the potential loss of principal. Generally, investments with greater return potential may also involve greater risk and volatility. Different types of investments carry different risks; for example, stocks have historically experienced greater price fluctuations than many types of bonds, while bonds are subject to risks such as interest rate, credit, and inflation risk.
We consider your individual goals, time horizon, financial circumstances, liquidity needs, and tolerance for risk when discussing an investment strategy designed to balance your need for growth with the importance of preserving assets and supporting your long-term financial needs.
