Portfolio Management
- Successful investment strategies are long term and strategic – but should be adjusted tactically based on shorter term shifts in economic cycles and market conditions.
- Diversification through asset allocation is essential to optimizing the balance between risk and return.
- Tax efficiency is a critical component of success as the return on investment after taxes is what truly matters most.
- Fee minimization through the utilization of appropriate investment securities and other investment vehicles is imperative.
