Investment Philosophy

As fiduciaries, we always prioritize our client's best interests, recommending strategies that suit their financial situations. We are committed to transparency, disclosing potential conflicts, and avoiding actions that could benefit us at the expense of our clients.
Our investment approach centers on creating personalized portfolios catering to our client's unique needs. We achieve this by offering a range of investment options, including Mutual Funds, ETFs, Separately Managed Accounts, and UMAs.
We tailor the portfolios to fit our client's unique financial goals, risk tolerance, and past market experiences. We consider important factors such as tax parameters and social exclusions to create a proposal that fully meets their needs.
Investments
- Separately Managed Account (SMA) is an investment that allows for greater customization and personalization than mutual funds or ETFs. With an SMA, the investor directly owns all the securities, providing opportunities for tax management. Utilizing techniques like tax loss harvesting can improve after-tax performance.
- Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) is a type of investment that pools funds and operates like a mutual fund. It typically tracks a particular index, commodity, or asset class. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs can be traded on stock exchanges like regular stocks.
- A mutual fund is a company that pools money from many investors and invests the money in securities such as stocks, bonds, and short-term debt. Investors buy shares in mutual funds. Each share represents an investor’s part of ownership in the fund and the income it generates.
- Unified Managed Account (UMA) is a professionally managed private investment account that allows various types of investments to be held in one place. These investments can include mutual funds, stocks, bonds, separately managed accounts, and exchange-traded funds.
