Our Investment Process

Your unique needs and goals require a customized approach that considers your place in life today, market fundamentals, and where you’re headed in the future. The answer to these three important questions is what forms the foundation of our portfolio construction process.

Before we begin to build your portfolio; the first step is to look at your Personal Situation. We want to clarify your goals, understand your time horizon, and define what you hope to accomplish. 

The next step is to determine your risk tolerance. How sensitive are you to Economic Factors such as inflation, volatility, changing tax law, and interest rates?  In general, how do you feel about investing? Do you prefer a more conservative or aggressive approach – or somewhere in between?

The last major piece of the puzzle is to determine your Investment Objective. Determining which investment strategy is appropriate for your unique situation, personal philosophy, and market outlook combine to form the foundation for building your portfolio.

Finally, we work together to select an investment theme (or two) that best resonates with your needs. Here are a few of our most popular investment strategies:
