OUR PRINCIPLES
Our investment principles
Establish a financial plan
Committing to a plan can put you on the path to building wealth. Investors who make the effort to plan for the future are more likely to take the steps necessary to achieve their financial goals.
Save and Invest Today
2020 was a very volatile year for investing, and so many investors were tempted to get out of the market and they did so at their peril. For example, if you had invested $100,000 on January 1st 2021, but missed the top 10 trading days, you would have had $51,256 less by the end of the year than if you’d stayed invested the whole time.
Diversification
Build a diversified portfolio based on your risk tolerance. Diversification lowers your portfolio's risk because different asset classes do well at different times. If one business or sector fails or performs badly, you won't lose all your money. Having a variety of investments with different risks will balance out the overall risk of a portfolio.
Minimize Fees and Taxes
Markets are uncertain but fees will always be certain. Pay attention to the net returns and minimize your taxes to maximize your returns.
Ignore the noise
Press makes noise to sell advertising. Markets fluctuate. Stay focused on your plan.
Rebalance your portfolio regularly
A portfolio began with a 50/50 allocation to stocks and bonds and was never rebalanced. Over the next 10 years, the portfolio drifted to an allocation that was 71% stocks and only 29% bonds—leaving it positioned for larger losses when the COVID-19 crash hit in early 2020 than it would have experienced if it had been rebalanced regularly.
