Wealth Management Philosophy
The cornerstone of my investment philosophy revolves around efficient market theory. It is common practice for clients to be exposed to suggestions of portfolio construction using asset allocation for determined risk tolerance.
My philosophy builds on this practice by implementing regularly scheduled reviews and rebalancing to assure continued proper asset allocation. In addition, it is important that my clients understand the fee structure of their current and/or proposed portfolio.
Portfolio construction and monitoring is a process and not an event. When changes in life occur, whether planned or unplanned, a portfolio should be evaluated and adjusted if necessary.
Personal Information and Community Involvement
I am deeply committed to philanthropic efforts and active in several community organizations including the following:
- Board Member of Catholic Charities, Lake County
- Active member of the University of Chicago Alumni Club
Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss.
Rebalancing a portfolio may cause investors to incur tax liabilities and/or transaction costs and does not assure a profit or protect against a loss.
