Investment Management

Is my portfolio built on purpose, or on leftovers?

We build portfolios core-and-satellite: a low-cost index core carrying the broad market return, surrounded by satellite sleeves each added for one specific, stated reason. Every holding has a job. If we can’t tell you what a position is doing in your portfolio, it shouldn’t be there.

It’s been said that you reap what you sow. And when it comes to enjoying your investments, truer words have never been spoken. Even if you don’t have thousands of dollars to invest, simply taking the time to choose where to park your money can be rewarding.

Through developing a personalized investment strategy, diversification, and avoiding short-term distractions, we aim to help create and preserve your wealth so you can work toward your financial goals.

Our investment planning process

  1. Create a point-in-time snapshot

    We analyze where you are with your current portfolio. Sometimes that surfaces immediately actionable steps, such as tax-loss selling or profit-harvesting opportunities.

  2. Develop an investment strategy

    From that snapshot we draw up personalized strategies, either building on your existing portfolio or proposing a tax-efficient set of investments aligned to your goals.

  3. Implement your plan

    Our approach evolves with your circumstances. We guide you through transitions as your life and lifestyle change.

  4. Consult and counsel

    An ongoing partnership: we review your investments, keep you informed, and communicate about proposed changes, risks, and opportunities.

Questions we get asked

  • A low-cost index core carries the broad market return, and satellite sleeves sit around it, each added for one specific reason — income, inflation sensitivity, or reduced correlation. Every position has a defined job, which is what makes it possible to explain why anything is held.
