Investment Philosophy
Markets are resilient
The markets have survived and persevered through multiple world wards, pandemics, and global recessions. While shorter term volatility will always be here, it's important to have the belief that the market will pull through when times seen hard.
Time IN the market beats timING the market
We are not 'market timers' or 'stock pickers'. We believe that a diligent long term focus will bring success to an investment plan.
Asset LOCATION drives taxes
Zooming out from asset allocation, asset location has to do with the type of account your money is invested in: pretax, tax-free, and taxable. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages and we are HUGE believers that an early strategy on asset location will have a huge impact on your taxes now and especially later in life.
Keep costs low
Mutual funds and ETFs come with underlying costs, generally called expense ratios. We are believers that an efficient portfolio is built through core holdings of low cost index funds.
Diversify your investments
Considerable research will show that a diversified portfolio decreases risk and increases your returns. We believe that a globally diversified portfolio across multiple assets classes is the most prudent way to achieve long term success.
Asset ALLOCATION primarily drives returns
Your asset allocation determines the mix of stocks, bonds, cash, alternatives and other assets in your portfolio. This is the primary driver of the returns in your portfolio and we believe your asset allocation should be aligned with your goals and objectives.
Avoid investment fads
Staying true to diversification means avoiding fads and general market noise. We are big believers in controlling what YOU can control and not succumbing to the hype the market media brings.
Faith in the future
Last but definitely not least, you have to have faith in the future. It's ok to think pessimistically during hard times, but we believe it's imperative to have long term faith that the market will continue to deliver positive returns.
