Implementing Your Investment Strategy

Your financial plan will set the stage for the development of your investment strategy.  Regular attention to the performance of your investments towards your goals helps ensure that your plans remain on-track.  Your investments will be planned and implemented by:

  • Determining your risk tolerance - we will help you identify an investment profile that matches your financial goals with your tolerance for market risk.
  • Building a model portfolio - state-of-the-art portfolio management software allows for the creation of a model portfolio that balances long-term performance targets with your tolerance for risk.
  • Implementing your plan - with your model portfolio as a template, we will choose the appropriate investments to help achieve your goals.
  • Monitoring your investments -  Even with the right asset allocation strategy it is critical that we together regularly track and evaluate your portfolio’s performance against your stated investment goals.
  • Rebalancing – retuning your portfolio to maintain the allocations indicated in the model portfolio is undertaken in the context of any changes in your personal situation.
  • Meeting regularly – to review your progress and discuss any recommended changes.

We will design an investment policy statement for you that explains how you will invest, how those investments match your feelings about taking financial risks, and what you can expect from us along the way.  You will understand everything we do for you; your investments, the fees, and investment performance.  You can rest assured that everything we do is in your best interest.
