We provide unconditional advice when defining financial goals and investment policies

A clear understanding of where you want to go is an excellent way to start a journey, so we start by setting objectives and developing a comprehensive plan. This includes defining investment objectives and risk tolerances, understanding and creating discipline around cash flows (sources and uses) over time, and developing an overall investment plan from this base.

Financial & Personal Goal Setting

We help our clients define their financial goals and craft investment policies to help achieve them – including desired outcomes, limitations and things to avoid.

Cash Flow Planning

We believe understanding family cash needs, portfolio and other income, investment commitments, liquidity and debt are all essential considerations in developing tailored solutions to unique challenges.

Risk Management

Our advice involves understanding common risk factors across portfolio holdings, how best to pursue diversification, and the importance of capital structuring and investment selection to achieve the goals that our clients and we mutually understand.

Comprehensive Investment Roadmap

We design a dynamic plan for a portfolio to evolve over time, from a beginning state to a long-run target allocation, taking into account market conditions along the way.

concentrated assets approach

Manage risk and maximize
the proceeds from the sales

For our clients with concentrated holdings, we develop plans for the eventual sale of some or all these positions, typically providing the source of funds for diversifying investments. In the meantime, we design “asset aware” portfolios that bring balance to portfolios with concentrated holdings often dominating a client family’s wealth, cash flows and risk.

CAPITAL REVIEW

2023 Quarter 3

In Q3 2023, equity markets, represented by the ACWI Index, witnessed a decline of 3.4%. However, they have surged 11.2% YTD as of October 10, 2023. Major indexes like the S&P 500, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets all experienced a downtrend between 3% to 4% in USD terms. The decline in US stocks was primarily attributed to the rise in longer-term bond yields. This surge was a result of robust economic data and the Federal Reserve's upward revision of its interest rate outlook for 2024. On the international front, equities fell due to the combination of increasing yields and weaker economic data from Europe and China.
