OUR SERVICES
The Investment Management Process
A clear definition of your investor profile is one of the most significant parts of a sound investment program and allows you to build a solid foundation for success. Our first priority is to define your goals, time horizon, comfort with risk, and most basic reasons for investing. This evaluation is designed to help you with the second part of the investment process: developing a personalized investment strategy.
This allocation is based on generally accepted investment theories that take into account the historic returns of different asset classes. There is an objective relationship between your proposed allocation and your investor profile.
While the financial markets may be complex, fortunately, the fundamentals of successful investing are not. Defining your investor profile and developing a suitable strategy are two fundamental steps that successful investors have followed for decades. They should be the foundation of the investment program you develop.
As your Financial Advisors, we will be your partners throughout this process and will lead you through the asset allocation decision and explain the next two steps in the investment process: professional money management and quarterly performance reporting.
