Investment Strategy
NBZ employs a disciplined asset allocation approach tailored to each client's objectives and risk tolerance. Capital is allocated among major asset classes—equities, fixed income, and cash—using Strategic Allocation and, where suitable, a Rotation Model. Strategic Allocation involves diversifying across sub-asset classes such as growth stocks, international stocks, government and corporate bonds, typically using mutual funds and similar vehicles. Investments are generally held for the long term, with infrequent trades. The firm monitors its investment selections closely, adjusting holdings for manager changes, style drift, or underperformance, and reallocates as economic or market conditions require.
