After seeing a vast array of wealth management offerings in the marketplace, many of which were doing a very poor job meeting client needs because of their high fees and weak portfolios, Tom decided to do something different. He has taken the best he has seen to form a company that can offer excellent wealth management services and an attractive value proposition with integrity and trust.
We work with a limited number of clients in order to provide the best possible service and to help our clients reach their goals knowing their investments are in good hands. We accomplish this through the following parameters:
- Using Diversified Exchange Traded Funds, ETFs, which provide an excellent way to obtain broad market diversification and attractive returns at a low price.
- Using Passive Investment Strategies that invest in broad market ETFs, which will outperform the vast majority of active managers. This has happened over the past 30 years and we believe it will continue.
- Minimizing fees and taxes, which has a significant positive impact to long-term returns.
- Focusing on returns over the investment time horizon.
- Having the right amount of risk in the portfolio to be able to buy more when markets fall and not sell at the bottom.
- Managing risk with Modern Portfolio Theory and by understanding what you own.
- Believing that investing is not supposed to be exciting. A long-term disciplined strategy works best, not frequent trading around current events.
- Being aware, but not following the crowd.
