Client Behavior
Once we’ve created a high quality portfolio of investments that are well-suited to your long-term goals, we become, in a very real sense, your Behavioral Coach, helping you to
(a) Continue making good decisions and,
(b) Avoid making inappropriate decisions about what to do and what not to do regarding your portfolio.
We believe a client’s highest probability of success will come from:
We spend much of our time trying to talk clients out of making poor decisions, whether that is trying to ride the euphoria of segment upturn, panicking out of a bear market, speculating, or putting all your eggs in too few baskets. Our behavior coaching is just that – we try to educate our clients to influence good decisions and, more so, avoid common mistakes.
Success here requires a high level of communication, and is the most important aspect of our service. To this end, we then meet at least annually, face to face, and speak and e-mail during the course of the year, adjusting your Plan and portfolio accordingly.
