The ultimate success of your investment program is determined by its ability to address the opportunities and challenges presented by the financial markets in concert with your time, spending and risk profile.

Despite advances in technology, the world still invests the vast majority of its financial assets using a combination of gut instincts, hunches, emotionally-driven decisions and “what we learned in college.”

As a result, when markets pull back, investors typically pull the plug—locking in horrible losses, sitting out the recovery and waiting until the market “feels safe” again to reinvest at the top, and repeat the cycle.

We have partnered with a leading financial technology company called Riskalyze (www.Riskalyze.com) to capture a quantitative measurement of your risk tolerance, and use that data to and quantify suitability and build customized portfolios that are consistent with your risk tolerance. The technology is built on the academic framework that won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2002.

All investing involves risk including loss of principal. No strategy assures success or protects against loss.

Rebalancing a portfolio may cause investors to incur tax liabilities and or transaction costs and does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.

Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.

There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.
