We don't look for the "best" investments based on performance alone.
Instead, we select the best investments based on your goals, investor psychology, existing holdings, tax Strategy, Social Objectives, and numerous other factors.
Our Investment Philosophy
Keep Investment Fees Low
Investment fees should be kept as low as possible without affecting the integrity of the strategy. We focus on funds with low expense ratios.
Manage Sustainability Risk
Our portfolios manage various organizational risks, ranging from accountable institutions to improved disaster readiness and fair labor practices (among over 70 organizational risks managed).
Don't Buy on Performance
We do not buy/sell/hold investments based on past performance. Our strategy is based on your goals, existing holdings, tax preference and other factors.
Use of Passive Strategies
We typically use passive investments in efficient markets that are transparent in available information and maintain strong regulatory governance.
Use of Active Strategies
We typically use active investments in inefficient markets that lack transparency or have deficient regulatory governance, as well as in ESG models.
Rebalance Strategically
Portfolios are rebalanced with a key focus on your personal goals, timeline, and recent market appreciation/depreciation.
Minimize Tax Impact
It is not what you make, it's what you keep. Our goal is to reduce the impact of taxation on your strategy, emphasizing tax loss harvesting, minimizing capital gains exposure, and low-turnover investments.
Remain Broadly Diversified
Broad diversification applies to more than just stock and bond allocations. We focus on diversification across sectors, capitalization, regions, credit ratings, and maturity dates (to name a few).
Manage Behavioral Biases
The portfolio is built using measurements of your reactions, behaviors, and personality around investment-related decisions and market volatility.
- Investor Confidence - Evaluates your level of self-confidence and self-efficacy we have in investment-related decision making.
- Volatility Composure - Anticipates how you will manage volatile financial situations, such as unstable equity markets.
- Risk Personality - Looks at both your past behaviors as well as your experiences with risk-taking.
- Risk Preference - A general indication of how risky you prefer your investment portfolio to be along with the risk-level of financial decisions you've made in the past.
- Judgement - A measure that helps determine whether your focus is more on short-term actions related to the market and investing, or if you are more focused on the long-term benefits and make decisions accordingly.
- Action - how you typically react is the first step in ensuring your future investment decisions are in your best financial interest.
