Investment Management

Investment Management

We take the time to understand your financial situation and together, we can develop solutions to meet your specific needs. We design portfolios on the premise that asset allocation decisions are the single most important determinant of portfolio risk and the related returns.  Our process takes a comprehensive, holistic approach to the Total Wealth Management of each client, so that the investment solution is integrated with your short term and long term objectives. Each portfolio is designed to optimize investment returns consistent with the risk being assumed to produce steady long-term results while minimizing risk, transaction costs and tax implications for you.

Individually Managed Accounts

For the client or business whose portfolio requires special sensitivity to taxation, has a concentration in one particular asset, or, if there are special distribution needs that need to be met, our individually managed accounts offer a disciplined process which sets us apart from the typical retail investment experience.  Our goal is consistent investment returns with accountability to the appropriate benchmark, all tailored to your individual needs.

Asset Allocation Portfolios

Whether your objective is income production or long term growth of your funds, our asset allocation portfolios provide exposure to a wide range of asset classes while tempering the asset mix to meet your individual risk tolerance.  The benefit to you is consistent, long term performance with continuous portfolio monitoring.  Our portfolios include:

Conservative: 80% fixed income and 20% equity
Moderate: 60% fixed income and 40% equity
Standard: 40% fixed income and 60% equity
Aggressive: 20% fixed income and 80% equity
All equity: 100% equity

Self-Directed Investments

Some investors prefer to manage a portion of their assets themselves.  When you have a managed account with us, you make the investment decisions and we will place the trades for you and custody the assets on our platform.

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA ) and IRA Rollovers

With IRAs, we can help you manage your taxes and save for retirement on a tax-favored basis. Plus, we can assist you with navigating the complex issues in rolling over a retirement plan from a previous employer while providing investment management or custody services for the assets you transfer.

Public Funds

Managing public money in today's regulatory environment can be a challenge and consume a lot of time.  We can provide solutions to save you time and make sure all the compliance needs are met including review and recommendations for investment policy statements, analyzing cash flows to match maturities and meet shortfalls as well as recommending portfolio strategies to help increase the overall core portfolio returns.  We provide ongoing account monitoring as well as detailed monthly reporting to communicate and comply with audit requirements.

Non-Profit Organizations

The responsibility of managing non-profit dollars includes the need for cost efficient investments that provide prudent, competitive returns within a realm of reasonable risk.  Many non-profit accounts also have distribution requirements that need to be met.  The hallmarks of our investment approach provide a firm foundation for a superior investment experience.  We bring independence, academic research and disciplined management to all of the portfolios we oversee.
