3. Academically supported Investment Philosophy;
I specializes in diversifying investments thru low-cost index mutual funds and
Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) that cover all major asset class indexes. My investment philosophy is:
·
Capital
markets work and market timing strategies are counterproductive resulting
in buying high and selling low instead of the other way around.
·
Risk and
Return are related
·
Diversification
is essential; protects against volatility
·
Asset
allocation determines performance; % allocated to major asset classes
determines returns
·
Costs
matter; control what you can: low cost funds, minimal turnover and trading
costs, and tax costs.
This approach adds value without
relying on forecasts or intuition.
4. I
provide Focus and Discipline to your
investments and financial planning.
Successful investing is about
creating a sound intellectual framework for making decisions and preventing
emotions from eroding that framework.
5.
I provide Personal,
Reliable Service. Your investment management is customized specifically to
your needs; no model portfolios or
separately managed accounts that you get
slotted into. Your investments are matched to your financial goals and
monitored personally by me.
