Let us help you grow more than wealth

Investment philosophy

My goal is to have my clients achieve their financial security and live out their dreams. I teach the individuals, corporate plan sponsors and the employees I work with to be good stewards of their wealth and active philanthropists, and I help them build their wealth in a manner suitable to their values and expectations.

A successful investment strategy originates and reflects your core beliefs and carefully balances that with your tolerance for risk. I can help you make the decisions that reflect your values and create wealth in a sustainable way. How do we do this? I recommend a strategic asset allocation that is a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, cash and alternatives. I will add non-traditional strategies as appropriate to help take advantage of the upside, yet still provide some protection on the downside. I believe diversification is an important risk mitigator, but over-diversification mutes returns. I use technical analysis to take the emotion out of investing and to help make the decision of when to buy or sell. Lastly, I invest for the long term with the goal of allowing my clients to achieve their retirement goals and to never outlive their money.
