We begin with gaining a firm understanding of your risk capacity (ability to take risk) and risk tolerance (willingness to take risk). We believe in asset allocation - diversifying investments across asset classes (stocks, bonds) and sub-asset classes (small cap, large cap, int'l, treasuries, corporate bonds) to balance risk and reward. We are not chasing trends, rather strategically positioning your money to weather market volatility and achieve steady growth. We use asset location to position investments in certain accounts to maximize after-tax returns. We often prefer index funds as they typically offer lower turnover and reduction or no capital gains distributions. We are not stock pickers, and we are not market timers. Time in the market is far more powerful.
