Account
Classification: The optimal portfolio of investments requires an
awareness of the goal and the level of risk a customer is willing
and able to assume to achieve that goal, from extremely conservative
to highly aggressive.
Asset Allocation: Once the level of risk
is determined, we can allocate assets to create an appropriate
portfolio. This process is spreading your money among different
markets and is critical to your investment performance as it can
substantially reduce risk and may enhance your returns over time.
Allocation among appropriate asset classes
will have a major impact on investment returns (90%) over time.
We believe the proper role of the professional trustee is to establish
strategic asset allocation for the long run based upon client
requirements and risk tolerance and to revisit the allocation
decision periodically, in light of developments affecting the
beneficiaries and the investment markets.
The target percentage in each of the following
