Investment Management
Our retirement income services are partnered with portfolio management service providers to aid retirees in minimizing risks, enhancing returns, and establishing a steady flow of income during their many more years.
We adhere to three fundamental principles to safeguard your retirement savings:
- Prioritize Affordable Investment Options
Research by Morningstar highlights that the affordability of your investments can be a significant indicator of future yields.
Historically speaking, investments with lower costs have surpassed those with higher costs in terms of performance. Hence, we construct our retirement portfolios with affordable ETFs and index funds, aiming to elevate the success probability of our client’s retirement strategies while diminishing unwarranted risks.
- Focus on Tax-Smart Investments
As endorsed by Warren Buffet, we believe in the long-term holding of investments, albeit with a realistic approach tailored for retirement investors.
We advocate for “low turnover” portfolios to avoid the frequent buying and selling of assets, which can incur both apparent and concealed charges, including transaction fees and bid-ask spreads. By opting for investments with a low turnover rate, we strive to enhance your investment yields and lessen tax liabilities.
- Choose the Appropriate Asset Categories
Investing wisely is crucial, and not all investment avenues may be suitable for you.
Our partners will emphasize selecting asset categories that:
-
- Have a strong backing from scholarly, peer-reviewed research
- Complement each other well in a diversified portfolio, showcasing low or negative correlation
