How We Serve

Whether you come to us with an existing portfolio, low-basis/concentrated positions, or with cash proceeds from a business sale or inheritance, our team of investment professionals spends time getting to know your unique needs and goals.

We design these strategies for your unique needs. These strategies are flexible—both for your life journey and also for the broad sweeps of market cycles.

Our clients have direct access to the portfolio managers creating their investment strategies.

We start by understanding you in order to customize an investment strategy for you.

Our Process

We start by understanding you: your timeline, tolerance for risk, tax situation, and any other special circumstances in order to customize an investment strategy for you.

Then, we develop a plan to move forward in light of market conditions.

Wealth Transition

Investing for generations requires understanding your past and thinking about your assets with a long-term outlook all while being mindful of shorter-term obstacles.

Our comprehensive solutions include globally diversified strategies utilizing a combination of equities (stocks), fixed income (bonds), alternative assets (anything other than stocks, bonds or cash), and cash.

Crafting a legacy for the generations to come:

  • Predicated on current portfolio insights and long-term perspectives
  • Anticipated timeline
  • Tax Considerations

Disclosure: Asset allocation does not protect against loss of principal due to market fluctuations. It is a method used to help manage investment risk. Please note that all investments are subject to market and other risk factors, which could result in loss of principal. No investment strategy can guarantee a profit or protect against loss in periods of declining values.

Investment Philosophy

Today’s world demands a global investment focus. Successful investing requires a balance between reward and risk.

Our first priority is to protect the capital you have entrusted to us.

We favor high-quality companies, which we define as those with competitive advantages in their markets and a history of strong financial & operational performance.

For the core of a portfolio, we look for individual securities that show consistent earnings growth, and strong balance sheets while selling at a good value relative to their peers.

We employ both individual securities and/or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to achieve diversification and to meet our performance expectations.

Our Portfolios

Our portfolios are mindfully crafted for five different investment objectives. Through the years, your objectives may change, and our approach may too.

We intentionally have wide ranges for each asset class to be nimble when market conditions warrant.

Our firm is employee-owned. Hence, we bring an owner’s mindset and work ethic. Consistent with that belief is that the partners choose to have a meaningful portion of our own net worth invested as we do for clients.

Diversified Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) may be used in lieu of individual securities when appropriate diversification may not be achieved either by account size or other factors.

Disclosure: An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a type of pooled investment security that operates much like a mutual fund. Typically, ETFs will track a particular index, sector, commodity, or other asset, but unlike mutual funds, ETFs can be purchased or sold on a stock exchange the same way that a regular stock can. An ETF can be structured to track anything from the price of an individual commodity to a large and diverse collection of securities. ETFs can even be structured to track specific investment strategies.
