3. Absolute Total Return Orientation
Our clients look to us to provide a more absolute total return performance. We manage diversified portfolios which include individual stocks, bonds, exchange traded funds, mutual funds, master limited partnerships, and preferred stocks. We initiate an overall long-term portfolio strategy and then implement that strategy over a varied time frame (depending on the market environment) and with the appropriate investment securities (based on risk adjusted assessments at both the security and market level). While we generally maintain strategic long term positioning, we will on occasion make tactical shifts when market conditions warrant to enhance or lower a client’s risk profile.
