Their strategy involves allocating any funds a client will need within the next ten years to fixed income securities, while longer-term funds are strategically invested in high-quality individual equities or mutual funds. The firm uses fundamental analysis to avoid clients having to sell equities in depressed conditions for short-term liquidity and emphasizes individualized portfolio construction based on specific goals, cash flow projections, and risk tolerance. Their experts craft diversified portfolios tailored to each individual, trust, or business client, with the flexibility to accommodate restrictions or customized strategies.
