Our Investment Philosophy

Investment Management FAQs

Explore our frequently asked questions to understand investment management and our unique offerings.

How do you manage my investments?

We start by understanding your goals, timeline, and comfort with risk. From there, we build a portfolio designed to balance growth and protection. Our team monitors your investments, rebalances when needed, and keeps your strategy aligned with your plan as life and markets change.

Who is actually monitoring my investments?

We have a team of specialized advisors who have expertise in specific areas of planning and investing. Instead of your entire plan being dependent upon a single busy advisor, your investments are monitored by entire teams of advisors.

How often will my investments be reviewed?

We monitor portfolios continuously and review them with you on a regular schedule. If your circumstances change, we adjust your strategy to keep it on track.

Do you actively trade my account?

Our approach is disciplined, not reactive. We make intentional adjustments when needed but avoid emotional decisions based on short-term market swings. The goal is steady, long-term progress, not unnecessary activity.

What happens if I already have another advisor?

We’re happy to provide a second opinion. Our team can evaluate your current strategy, identify potential gaps or risks, and help you see if you'll have enough for all of retirement.

What type of investments do you use?

We use diversified portfolios that may include mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, and other managed investments. The specific mix depends on your goals, time horizon, and tolerance for risk.
