Investment Management

If you don’t get this right, nothing else matters.

Precious few plans will succeed without saving and long-term, after-tax compounding of your investment returns. We help position your investments and accounts to benefit from after-tax, risk-managed, long-term wealth compounding. We tailor and manage separate accounts of individual securities diversified for each client.

IT’S JUST PART OF WHAT WE DO.

Scottsdale | Phoenix

Wealth management
designed to maximize your life.

Target and manage to your goals and objectives.

We know how to compound investment returns.

Investment Management | How we create value for you.

Asset/Liability
Study

We help you determine the long-term compound rate of return you will likely need to earn to successfully fund your financial goals and objectives at a low probability of failure. We help you determine the asset allocation guidelines for your long-term strategic investment plan. We write guidelines that will help you earn your required long-term compound rate of return. If you don’t get this right, nothing else matters. 

Risk Willingness and
Capacity Studies

We help you determine how much risk you may need to embrace to be able to successfully achieve your goals. We help you determine an upper bound of your financial capacity to embrace risk. We help you test your emotional capacity to withstand the associated and inevitable periods of negative returns you’ll need to be prepared to endure.

Written Investment
Guidelines

We help you develop the investment plan for the bedrock investments you will rely on to financially sustain you and your wealth management plan. Your guidelines help you set realistic expectations, reduce fuzzy thinking and help you make wise choices about your financial future. Your guidelines help you consider how to successfully fund your future goals and obligations at a reduced level of failure.

Diversification
Intelligence Analysis

We help you measure and capture the benefits of better and more effective investment diversification. Effective investment diversification is regarded as the only true free lunch on Wall Street. Better diversification benefits lead to better investment results ‒ lower portfolio volatility and better long-term compounding of your investment returns. 

Risk Budget
Analysis

We construct a risk budgeting framework to help identify, budget and manage your investment risk exposures for more than a dozen different investment risks and we establish related investment risk management protocols. Better risk management leads to better long-term, after-tax, compounded investment returns. After all, your investment returns are derived from the investment risks you take and avoid.

Tailored
Individual Security Portfolios

We help you minimize the number of fee-collecting agents between you and your money by investing directly in individual securities. We help remove layers of costs and plug the expense holes in your investment buckets in an effort to improve your net, after-fees and costs returns. Of course, fewer and lower expenses lead to more money in your portfolio working for you. 

Tax-Sensitive
Portfolio Management

We work to help you keep more of your investment returns by investing to take advantage of tax deferral, tax reduction and tax elimination opportunities allowable for your personal situation. We help you take into account the tax implications of various investment decisions and employing strategies that aim to reduce tax burdens to which you may be exposed. 

Progress Reporting
Analysis

What you measure matters. Measuring what matters most is successfully accomplishing the goals and objectives of your wealth management plan. We help you develop appropriate progress benchmarks and measurements to help you see whether you are moving closer to, or further away from, achieving success with your investment plan, and importantly, the impact you are having on your plan. 

Investment Behavior
Coaching

We help you exercise control over the types of investment behaviors ‒ fear, greed and loss of focus to camouflaging distractions ‒ that divert your attention from your goals and objectives and may lead you to abandon your well-conceived plans. We help you develop discipline and maintain focus on the key issues to reduce the risk you lose the plot of your wealth management plan.
