Back to StrategiesInvestment Objective
Deliver a cost-effective, diversified professionally managed strategic asset allocation portfolio for accounts starting at $5,000.
Portfolio Philosophy
We believe a strategic perspective paired with periodic rebalancing will result in long-term performance matching or exceeding its benchmark.
- Passive ETF Selection – Invest in what we believe are the best possible ETFs that deliver performance and manage risk, while tightly controlling expenses.
- Risk Management – By maintaining a portfolio consistent with the desired risk category, overall reward to risk can be optimized by constructing portfolios on the efficient frontier.
- Consistency – Aim to provide investors long term growth along with the knowledge that the SAM portfolios are always fully invested and rebalanced as necessary to manage
overall risk.
