Asset allocation

We believe asset allocation is the most important aspect of investing. Which asset classes and how much of them you choose to hold may ultimately determine your return, level of diversification, and risk/reward balance—not to mention your psychological well-being.

In building your dynamic portfolio, we start with a detailed discussion of your risk tolerance, income requirements, performance goals, and specific needs for cash disbursements in the future.

We then make recommendations, execute the strategy (with your agreement), and review it often to make sure it is still in line your expectations.

Generally, we diversify clients’ portfolios among the following asset classes:

  • • Global equities
  • • Global bonds
  • • Inflation-protected bonds
  • • Municipal bonds
  • • Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
  • • Commodities (real assets)
  • • Lower-volatility, higher-yielding equities
  • • Master limited partnerships (MLPs)

Investing involves risk including the possible loss of principal. Asset allocation cannot eliminate the risk of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns. Diversification does not guarantee profit or protect against loss in declining markets.
