Managed Risk Strategies

Goal is to help to minimize volatility
We are part of a growing community of advisors who believe the use of “risk management tools” are needed in order to maneuver through the type of uncertainty from all over the world that we believe have and will continue to create extreme volatility.

It’s paiful to watch the value of your life savings drop, which is why we’ve spent years working with tactical Risk Managed money managers.

WHY LIMITING LOSSES IS IMPORTANT

The rate of return it takes to make up a loss is always greater than the loss itself.

We feel it’s always important to curb losses as it’s tough to make them up. For example, if you lose 30% in a year, you would need to make 43% to get back to where you started. Many of our clients are in retirement and taking income. The impact of losses can be even greater when you are withdrawing from your retirement savings.

We believe the importance of a sound investment process cannot be overstated. We feel a good strategy should provide solid results over time. We think disciplined investing is not just about waiting for something good or bad to happen, it’s about finding opportunity and making investment decisions that protect your principal when appropriate.

We believe the greatest attribute an investor can possess is the ability to be objective. While we can never stop all downturns, we believe if you utilize tactical managers that follow their systems, it’s possible to see better results over time.
When Utizing Tactical Management it’s important to try to attempt the following:
Have Exit and Entry Signals
Have Stop Losses in place, and They Follow Their Signals

Is a managed volatility strategy
right for you?

Investors can invest exclusively in the Managed Volatility Strategy or they can add it to a broader portfolio to potentially lower it’s overall volatility. We believe managed volatility may be appropriate if you:

Minimize risk

Seek to minimize
risk while still growing your
investments

Long Term

Have a
long term
investment horizon

Stock market

Want to invest in the stock market, but would be more comfortable if you could limit the downturn volatility

MANAGED RISK STRATEGIES

We work with a TAMP –  ”Turnkey Asset Management Program” that allows us to help you choose from numerous money managers and management systems. We have chosen to work with tactical money managers that have risk management built into their strategies.
While we can not guarantee performance, the difference is that all the managers we work with, have an “exit strategy” and a “re-entry strategy”
in order to try to reduce volatility.
Our main objective is to have clients who are tired of a buy and hold (or what we call a buy and hope)
money manager for their retirement assets.
