Asset Allocation
Finding a Balance
That
Works For You
We firmly believe that asset allocation is one of the most important investment decisions that an investor makes. The correct balance of stocks, bonds, and cash is crucial to a portfolio performing in-line with investor expectations. When making asset allocation recommendations we consider age, investment objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and current market sentiments.
From aggressive growth portfolios to conservative income portfolios, and anything in between, we are here to help you decide what the proper asset allocation is for you.
Our equity separately managed accounts are comprised of one or more of our equity strategies, and paired with fixed income, international, or alternatives investments. Our ETF accounts are comprised of ETF’s that are selected based on relative strength versus other opportunities in Domestic Equity, International Equity and Fixed Income.
Riskalyze
How Much Risk Should I Take With My Investments?
Just as goals are unique to each individual, so is how they look at rewards and risks. It all starts with identifying your Risk Number. Determining how fast you’re comfortable traveling on your investment journey is the first step we take in helping us ensure your portfolio aligns with YOUR investment goals and expectations.
We utilize this quantitative tool to help you visualize how much risk you want, how much risk you need to take to reach your goals or how much risk you actually have in a portfolio. Riskalyze can stress test how your proposed portfolio would have fared through various market events over the past 8 years, including the financial crisis and recovery.
We will also review your progress toward your financial goals by building a personalized Retirement Map. When we finish walking you through the process, you’ll fully understand what we can do to increase the probability of success – not just for today but throughout your lifetime.
