The recent turmoil in the worldwide financial markets has reiterated the need for diligent risk management. Our managed account allows us to more effectively monitor the risk level in the market. When we believe the risk is too high, we have the capability to take action to try to mitigate that exposure on your behalf.

As investment analyst Louise Yamada said, “There are two kinds of losses. A loss of capital and a loss of opportunity; but there will always be another opportunity if you protect capital.” We are very conscious of trying to protect your money during times of anticipated negative volatility. That way, we will have capital to invest when new opportunities arise.

We are excited about the opportunity to serve you. We believe this partnership will help maximize your investment results while offering the personalized service you've come to expect.
