We Believe That
- Successful investing is a long-term process, not a series of transactions or short-term events.
- Clients deserve customized investment strategies, tailored to their specific situations.
- A clearly defined investment plan is vital for financial success. Every investor should have an investment policy statement.
- Financial planning should simplify, not complicate, our clients' lives.
- Part of our responsibility is to help clients develop clarity regarding any short-term expectations, maintaining our focus on pursuing their long-range goals.
- Serious investors, focused on long-term wealth building, should consider using independent, professional money managers.
- Wealth management is a full-time business, not a hobby.
- Maintaining appropriate investment risk is as important as maximizing portfolio returns.
- There are no quick fixes… hard work and smart planning get the best results.
- Emotional decisions should not replace rational judgment.
- Taxes and inflation are the primary deterrents to wealth accumulation, and should be minimized when possible.
- Quality endures. A portfolio built on quality investments is more likely to endure the test of time.
