Goals-based investment strategies
Guided by our conversation to learn about you and your goals, we set the asset allocation and strategic diversification for your unique portfolio using four levels of asset allocation: equities/fixed income, sectors, industries and individual holdings.
Because our clients are all unique, we do not use investment strategies but rather select a customized mix of investments for your portfolio. The foundation of our portfolio construction process is our research methodology and disciplined investing process. Using rigorous, fundamental research, advanced analytics and the experience of our portfolio management team, we select the most appropriate investments for inclusion in client portfolios. Our process uses multiple levels of screening and incorporates the perspectives of industry leading quantitative and qualitative analysis.
Alternative Investments
If it fits within your portfolio’s strategy, we can incorporate alternative investment strategies including hedge funds, private equity, private debt, managed futures and private real assets (including private real estate). Because alternatives tend to behave differently than typical stock and bond investments, they can help qualified investors potentially mitigate risk and pursue distinctive alpha-generating opportunities in their portfolios.
Alternative investments carry specific investor qualifications which can include high income and net-worth requirements as well as relatively high investment minimums. They are complex investment vehicles which generally have high costs and substantial risks. The high expenses often associated with these investments must be offset by trading profits and other income. They tend to be more volatile than other types of investments and present an increased risk of investment loss. There may also be a lack of transparency as to the underlying assets. Other risks may apply as well, depending on the specific investment product.
