Our Process
Investor Phases
We see investors as falling into one of three distinct phases: accumulation, preservation or distribution. To determine where people fit, we go straight for the goals: What are the accumulation objectives? What is your risk tolerance? What is the desired distribution time frame?
Once an advisor relays this information to our team, we move forward making the most informed and effective investment decisions on their behalf. And what’s more our team can become so much more than just money managers. Our years of expertise allow us to offer unique benefits, including downside protection and inventive income solutions. So, many who come to us for guidance leave with more than they ever thought possible.
Accumulation
At one end of the spectrum are the early-cycle accumulators. These investors are focused on building their assets, so our Institute managers will likely recommend one of our traditional portfolios. Always skillfully diversified and tactfully managed, these portfolios are ideal for investors who may be enjoying increased job income and therefore have a higher tolerance for risk.
Preservation
Next come the mid-cycle protective investors. They’ve worked hard to build their nest egg and want to keep it safe, yet they also don’t want to shut out the opportunity for growth.
At this stage in life, many investors have higher incomes and higher net worths, but they also have higher-expense responsibilities, such as saving for retirement. This is where our partially protective portfolios come in. These address the primary need of preservation through downside protection. It’s the freedom to pursue growth plus a reliable safety net—simple as that.
Distribution
At the far side of the investment spectrum are the later-stage investors. As retirees, these investors tend to concentrate on sustainability and stability: How can I live the way I want and still be confident this money can last the rest of my life? Where traditional investment strategies rely on very conservative assets or annuities, we have a series of innovative predictable income portfolios that create distinctive income solutions by partnering with insurance companies instead of signing money over to them.
Portfolios
The Institute has relationships with expansive global organizations and top-tier financial institutions; so we constantly have our finger on the pulse of the market through timely reports and trend trackers. What’s more, our team has vast experience in analyzing economic data and comprehending future potential. Which, in turn, helps protect and inform our clients’ investments.
Through our extensive industry insights and unparalleled expertise, we’ve created a series of proprietary models. These models are based on the maximum risk tolerance of any given investor.
