Portfolio Analysis & Design


Portfolio Performance Optimization * 401 (k) Asset Allocation Optimization


For the investor who needs a second opinion, periodic reviews, portfolio design assistance & some guidance



Optimize Your Portfolio Performance


We will analyze your current portfolio and provide a second opinion or create a new portfolio that invests in a high performance low cost strategy. A $100,000 portfolio invested 25 years in a strategy that produces a 5% improvement over an 8% annual return, would increase your wealth by $1,250,000 compared to the 8% return portfolio.







Optimize Your 401 (k) Asset Allocation


We will design the optimal asset allocation for your 401 (k) portfolio to meet your long-term retirement goals. The largest contributor to a portfolio’s long-term performance is an optimal asset allocation.


Analysis


We offer independent advice when reviewing your portfolio, a second opinion. Your portfolio is analyzed on the criteria listed below:

  • Asset Allocation

    The breakdown of the portfolio asset classes

  • Performance

    Alpha – A measure of a portfolio’s excess return relative to its benchmark

  • Performance Consistency

    The percent of the years a portfolio outperforms its benchmark

  • Risk Level

    Standard Deviation – A measure that shows a portfolio’s variation from its mean over time

  • Risk Adjusted Return

    Sharpe Ratio – A measure of risk adjusted return, risk versus reward

  • Maximum Drawdown

    The most negative year of a portfolio over a select period of time

  • Cost

    Management costs, front-end loads, broker transaction fees

  • Investment Strategy

    Asset allocation, tactical asset allocation, security selection method, security analysis method, investment vehicle and management activity level

  • Portfolio & Advisor Structure

    Independent advice, open architecture, transparency, liquidity

  • Management Ownership

    How much of the portfolio managers personal investments are invested in the strategy they manage

  • Current Investment Advisor

    Credentials, certifications & disputes

Our portfolio analysis report is condensed and easy to read with only the key characteristics, not 30 pages of confusing tables and graphs. The same analysis that is performed on the existing portfolio is performed on a new proposed portfolio for comparison.



Portfolio Design


Your portfolio is designed or enhanced to meet your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. We have researched mutual funds, investment managers and investment newsletters to find the best investment strategies to use in portfolio designs. Our portfolios mainly invest in stocks and no-load mutual funds. We use diversified and focused sectors, tactical and asset class allocation, fundamental and technical analysis, growth and value, large and small companies. The new portfolio design will list the security names, symbols, asset class, allocation and a grade.
