Objectivity:

Our professionals work for you – not a company – enabling them to make investment recommendations with objectivity.

Transparency:

The majority of investments we use are liquid every day and can be reviewed on any major financial website.

Long-term, comprehensive focus:

Your portfolio will be built based on your personal benchmark, not the S&P 500. We are not traders and do not make decisions based on fear or emotion. Rather, we will focus on what your portfolio will enable you to do from a lifestyle and legacy perspective and not exclusively on rates of return.

Risk adjusted returns:

We believe the level of risk you are willing to assume should return an equal reward. We generally look to protect the downside and minimize volatility.

Low expenses:

We believe lower is generally better but we will also focus on finding the investments with top returns net of fees.

Low Turnover:

We prefer investment managers who have conviction in their holdings – who don't buy and sell too often – to help achieve lower fees and taxes.

Tax efficient:

Our goal is to maximize after-tax returns in non-qualified accounts. That is why we prefer funds with lower turnover and capital gain distributions. We also use tax-loss harvesting throughout the year to minimize taxes long term.
