Asset Allocation:
Asset allocation is the foundation of any long-term investment strategy. It is based on the concept that not all investments behave the same way during the same period of time. By properly adhering to your asset allocation model (based on your goals, time horizon and risk tolerance), it is possible to contain volatility risk while seeking a return that maintains your investment objectives.
Diversification:
Diversification means that multiple stocks, bonds and other investments will be used within each industry, asset sector and world market. We try never to entrust any allocated sector to just one security or fund. In addition, we research all fund companies' culture and practices before using them in client accounts.
Fundamental analysis:
Markets over time inevitably follow fundamentals. That includes the status of the economy, the industry and the individual company's securities. Our methodology considers research from many of the major research organizations as well as our own research. Our research focuses on an analysis of earnings and cash flow together with market share, depth of management, industry dominance, uniqueness of product and many other factors.
