We Use The World's First Risk Alignment Platform
Subjective risk questionnaires nearly always miss the mark. That’s because the old way of assessing risk, stereotyping investors with subject semantics, simply doesn’t work. Built upon a Nobel Prize-winning framework, Riskalyze is cutting edge technology that identifies your acceptable levels of risk and reward. Using this tool, we ensure that your portfolio defines your investment goals and expectations.
A 5-minute questionnaire covers topics such as portfolio size and top financial goals, while showing real dollar amounts of how much you are willing to risk for potential gains. Once complete, you will have a personalized Risk Number®. It’s fast, free, and displays your number instantly.
Collaborate With Experts
Our access to unlimited investment firm intellectual capital allows us to collaborate and learn from the best in the business. While information is ubiquitous and abundant in this digital age, our core mission is to understand your particular situation well before we search the marketplace to customize a lower-cost portfolio specific to your needs.
Emotions Are Part Of Who We Are
As humans, we are often driven by emotions. Unfortunately, this can lead us to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. That’s why our approach relies heavily on mathematics and statistics to construct portfolios that give you the best opportunity to succeed. We take into consideration your income needs and long-term growth targets and design our portfolios to participate in growing markets as well as weather the challenging ones.
Keep Costs Low
Fees matter. That’s why we prefer to start with low-cost index funds to build the core of your portfolio. In certain areas of investing, such as international, emerging markets, and fixed income, it may be beneficial to hire a manager to either reduce risk or maximize returns, but it must be mathematically clear that their additional cost adds value to your portfolio. This “active-passive” approach lowers your overall costs and tends to increase performance over time.
Customize Each Solution
One size does not fit all. We use our extensive experience and customize portfolios utilizing a wide variety of stocks, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and private portfolio managers, including:
- Vanguard Mutual Funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
- Fidelity zero cost index funds
- Hundreds of low-cost mutual fund managers
- Over 300 separate account managers that can provide better tax control
