The variables involved in achieving a household's investment objectives are multifaceted, ranging from defining long-term goals to selecting the most suitable investment strategy. Our approach is uniquely tailored to create and implement a fully customized investment mandate that evolves with our clients' changing needs. We call this the Financial Blueprint, a comprehensive plan that accounts for all assets, liabilities, income targets, and risk tolerance, while recognizing that these underlying factors will likely shift over time.
A well-defined strategy is essential, but its execution is often even more critical to achieving success. That’s why we believe it’s vital to have a dynamic implementation process that aligns with and adapts in real time to the evolving macro market cycle, guided by a probabilistic framework.
Leveraging advanced technology and proprietary solutions to create and manage the Financial Blueprint.
Creating enduring legal documents can be an onerous task. That’s why we collaborate with qualified experts tailored to your unique needs. Our goal is to work together to fully realize the framework’s intent.
The financial needs of high-net-worth households can be complex. Tailored lending solutions, designed to align with your unique goals, can optimize your portfolio’s long-term strategy.
Over the past two decades, many investment advisors and money managers have relied on a buy-and-hold approach to portfolio management, guided by the diversification principles of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT). However, the gap between expected outcomes and actual results may be significantly wider than currently recognized. We continuously analyze the environment within publicly traded financial markets to optimize risk-reward ratios for our clients.
As fiduciaries within the realm of our investment management services, we strive to maintain an institutional approach where actively managed investment portfolios are maintained with the highest professional standards. Our proprietary investment strategies are designed to operate in harmony. By embedding a dynamically applied risk management range within each strategy, we can more effectively align a portfolio’s “temperament” with the client’s needs and adjust as deemed appropriate.
The cornerstone of our investment philosophy is proactive risk management. We favor dynamically allocated portfolios with embedded risk management over the prevalent use of less liquid, less transparent alternative investments as the primary risk mitigation tool.
To address individual client needs, we design our strategies modularly, allowing us to tailor risk management levels for a composite portfolio. Using time-tested quantitative signals, we aim to optimize asset allocation and market exposure. This approach can significantly enhance portfolio performance compared to static allocations, potentially delivering superior risk/reward characteristics over the long term.
We offer strategies designed to mitigate the risk and tax implications for individuals and families holding concentrated stock positions.
Recognizing that each client has unique long-term goals, we create a tailored roadmap called the Financial Blueprint. We assess each client’s circumstances to develop a customized investment strategy, establishing a baseline allocation and risk exposure range. By evaluating both sides of the balance sheet and considering all relevant variables, we craft a strategic financial plan for the future. In some cases, using proceeds borrowed against liquid assets can be an effective source of liquidity. Such leverage underscores the importance of a proactive risk management platform.

We are committed to our clients, fostering enduring relationships built on open communication and trust.
A key differentiator of our process is the high level of transparency embedded in every aspect of our investment management practice. By managing liquid investments in-house, we maintain full control over decision-making and can provide clear accountability for every trade executed within our proprietary strategies.
At a point in the macro cycle when agility is key, the ability to independently select from a diverse range of investment platforms can be critical to the success of an investment strategy.
The number of variables, including the rapid pace of change, affecting households has grown significantly in recent years. We believe it is essential to operate within a framework that leverages all available tools to navigate an uncertain world.
Our newsletters and podcasts provide a direct glimpse into our strategic principles and forward thinking.
These strategies primarily invest in publicly traded dividend-paying equities through individual stocks, mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds. At times, they may employ a dynamic asset allocation approach to potentially mitigate the impact of prolonged market volatility.
For nearly four decades, fixed-income instruments have generally benefited from a structurally declining interest rate environment. Since the summer of 2020, however, a new long-term trend in rising interest rates may be emerging. We believe this shift could have significant implications for income-seeking investors, particularly given the trillions of dollars potentially misallocated in this context.
DSS aims to deliver a consistent income stream and pursue long-term, inflation-adjusted growth through investments in dividend-paying equities. We prioritize companies with a strong track record of consistently increasing dividends. While dividend-paying equities often generate income comparable to most fixed-income instruments, they have historically exhibited higher volatility than bonds.
We believe a portfolio focused on dividend-paying equities, with embedded proactive risk management, offers a compelling alternative.
HIF aims to deliver a consistent income stream and pursue long-term, inflation-adjusted growth through investments in dividend-paying equities, sector-based mutual funds, and exchange-traded funds. By targeting a higher dividend yield than the broader market, the strategy may focus on fewer economic sectors, potentially resulting in increased volatility compared to the overall equity market. It proactively manages volatility by adjusting net equity market exposure to meet its volatility target.
PIF-1’s methodology is rooted in our quantitative investment approach. By integrating trend-based price analysis with comprehensive investor sentiment research, we aim to identify securities and timeframes suitable for options writing on individual stocks and market index instruments.
When market participants heavily purchase put option protection (e.g., during elevated volatility index levels), we seek to capture income by selling put options on securities with favorable outlooks based on our analysis.
STR pursues a balanced approach to long-term, inflation-adjusted growth through investments in global equities, fixed income, and real assets via mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The strategy proactively manages volatility by adjusting net exposure to equity and real asset markets. It may also actively manage the duration of fixed-income positions based on macroeconomic interest rate trends.
Over the past 25 years, passive index instruments have come to dominate the investment services industry. The rise of style-box-driven asset management has also pushed the industry toward closet indexing. Together, these trends have driven concentration in major U.S. equity indices to levels not seen since 1929. While we recognize the relative strength of the largest U.S. companies, we believe the industry may be ill-prepared for a sustained mean reversion, whenever it begins.
This is why we advocate an approach that seeks the best candidates for long-term growth without the constraints imposed on multi-trillion-dollar platforms, offering a potential advantage in the current macro market cycle.
Unlike most investment strategies that rely on overt or covert indexing, our approach seeks a return premium through ownership of high relative strength assets for our clients. Two decades of extensive and ongoing quantitative analysis have shown that a data-driven security selection process is essential to avoid human biases, which often lead to sustained underperformance relative to long-term expectations.
GSS aims to achieve long-term, inflation-adjusted growth by investing in shares of growth-oriented companies. Our process focuses on companies demonstrating sustained price strength, both nominally and relatively. To avoid excessive sector concentration, we diversify positions across economic sectors exhibiting positive trends, mitigating correlation risks.
TAS pursues a balanced approach to long-term, inflation-adjusted growth through investments in global equities, fixed income, and real assets via mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
To address the potentially higher volatility of equity-focused portfolios compared to fixed income-centric ones, TAS incorporates a mechanism to adjust equity exposure based on quantitative signals. The portfolio can shift toward a growth orientation when supported by favorable data or significantly reduce equity exposure to de-risk substantially if the analysis suggests caution.
Designed as an opportunistic risk-management overlay, TAS can dynamically adjust net exposure to equities and real assets from 100% to 0%.
ISF is an actively managed allocation overlay designed to counter sustained cost-push inflation. Its primary goal is opportunistic, inflation-adjusted growth, with volatility typically exceeding broad stock market averages due to concentrated positioning and heightened volatility in commodity-centric instruments.
The strategy is positioned to potentially protect against rising inflation, capitalize on currency devaluation, and dynamically shift allocations between commodities and commodity-linked equities.
The potential emergence of artificial general intelligence (AGI) could dramatically accelerate technological progress, compressing advancements from years or months to days or minutes. Humans often struggle to grasp the power of exponential change, accustomed to linear thinking.
The AIF Strategy serves as a focused overlay to enhance exposure to this dynamic investment sector. Given that exponential advancements can resemble noise, we prioritize relational price patterns in publicly traded assets to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.
