Investment Strategy
Pure Portfolios employs an evidence-based, rules-based investment philosophy, aiming to deliver risk-aware, highly diversified portfolios tailored to each client’s risk capacity and financial objectives. The firm avoids market timing and emotionally-driven decisions, instead relying on a systematic, formulaic process for portfolio adjustments. Their approach emphasizes downside risk management, especially for clients nearing or in retirement, and aims to boost after-tax returns through tax efficiency. Portfolios are constructed using transparent, low-cost strategies, and clients are granted direct access to holdings and performance portals. The firm avoids involving third-party managers or high-fee mutual funds, instead managing portfolios in-house for greater accountability and reduced costs.
