Invest Your Money Wisely
Having a portfolio optimized for the market, your personal goals, and your risk tolerance is key. We invest exclusively in low-cost index funds in an effort to avoid any unnecessary fees. In addition to keeping costs low, we also manage your portfolio risk, which is one important aspect of money management that many financial advisors tend to ignore. The evidence is clear that trying to beat the market in sub-asset classes (e.g. US lg cap stocks) is very difficult to do as these markets are largely efficient, especially over the long-term. However, the major asset classes (e.g. the global stock market) are not efficient and there are periods when you can reduce unnecessary risk and/or take advantage of low asset prices. Protecting your portfolio during periods of extreme market euphoria and taking advantage of market crashes are essential aspects of our service to our clients.

Create a Comprehensive Financial Plan
Comprehensive financial planning should be at the core of any long-term investment plan. Whether it’s generating retirement income, transferring wealth, or leaving a charitable legacy, your goals come first. Investing isn’t only about growing your portfolio. It’s also about aligning your portfolio with your specific long-term goals. No matter what your financial situation may be, we can create a plan to help you achieve those goals.
