    Strategy

    It has been proven that the only way to beat the markets is strategy based investing, understanding the psychology of the markets and taking things like emotion out of the equation. By sticking to proven investment strategies, with an emphasis on identifying and avoiding risk helps us grow our clients’ wealth.

    Asset Allocation/Modern Portfolio Theory: Using Strategic Asset Allocation, Modern Portfolio Theory and Quantitative analysis allows us to build a portfolio with the least amount of risk with best possible return. In the mid-1990’s Markowitz won a Nobel Prize after a 40 year study showing that 94% of returns comes from Asset allocation and that 80% of advisors and investors underperform the market.

    Fundamental value: Fundamental Analysis: To Find undervalued investments we use fundamental analysis developed originally by Benjamin Graham at Columbia University, refined by Warren buffet and Philip Fisher. This allows us to identify investments with growth at a reasonable price (GARP). This strategy is one of the few to have a long term track record of outperforming the markets by finding great investments with good balance sheets, strong growth potential and considered undervalued to its peers.

    Macroeconomic: Top performing hedge funds and Ivy League endowments have used this one strategy to outperform the market for many years. By spotting economic trends risks and opportunities can be identified, allowing us to recognize risks and opportunities. We can adjust our asset allocation depending on the macroeconomic indicators to provided higher long-term returns.

    Technical Analysis: Technical analysis can provide reinforcement of economic and fundamental trends and trend reversals. Finding the levels that buyers and sellers are willing to pay helps us look for tops and bottoms. Technical analysis can be applied to many indicators such as sentiment, supply and specific investments.

    Proprietary indicators: To provide an extra level of due diligence we have developed several proven proprietary indicators to identify bear markets and economic trends.
