Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about our portfolio management services and investment approach.
What is your investment management approach?
We use a strategic asset allocation approach combined with tactical adjustments. Our process begins with understanding your goals and risk tolerance, then implements a diversified portfolio designed to achieve your objectives while managing downside risk.
How often do you rebalance portfolios?
We typically rebalance quarterly or when allocations drift more than 5% from targets. However, we may rebalance more frequently based on market conditions, tax considerations, or changes in your situation.
What fees do you charge for portfolio management?
Our portfolio management fees range from 1.0% to 1.75% annually based on portfolio size and complexity. This includes all investment management, rebalancing, tax optimization, and regular reviews with no hidden fees.
How do you measure portfolio performance?
We measure performance against appropriate benchmarks and your specific objectives using risk-adjusted metrics. You receive monthly performance reports with attribution analysis and quarterly reviews.
Can you manage my 401(k) and other retirement accounts?
Yes, we provide guidance on 401(k) investment selections and can directly manage IRAs and other retirement accounts. We coordinate all accounts to ensure your overall allocation remains optimal.
What makes your portfolio management different?
Our approach combines institutional-quality investment management with personalized service. We focus on after-tax returns, risk management, and long-term wealth building rather than short-term performance chasing.
