About Private Wealth Management

Private Wealth Management was established in 2008 at the height of the financial crisis. We made the move to an independent business model for two reasons: we could specialize in what we do best for our clients and there are no conflicts of interest by being associated with larger Wall Street firms or other financial institutions. We work for our clients and only our clients.

Portfolio Management

Avoiding major drawdowns in the market is the key to long-term investment success. If you are not spending the bulk of your time making up previous losses in your portfolio, you spend more time compounding your invested dollars towards your long term goals. We have spent the last several years developing and refining a data-driven, mathematically based strategy to execute this mantra.

Risk Management

The problem with most advisors is that they tell you when to get into investments, but they never tell you the most important part of asset management... when to sell. We utilize a two-pronged approach to constructing and managing our portfolios. Fundamental research tells us where we are in the economic cycle. This determines what we should own and why. The second-factor signals when we should buy/sell those positions.


FAQs

Why should I choose you as my financial advisor?

The problem with most advisors is that they tell you when to get into investments, but they never tell you the most important part of asset management... when to sell. We utilize a two-pronged approach to constructing and managing our portfolios. Fundamental research tells us where we are in the economic cycle, determining what we should own and why. The second-factor signals when we should buy/sell those positions. We have spent several years developing and refining a data-driven, mathematically based strategy to execute this mantra.

How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services?

We charge a fee based on the value of the investments we manage.

How much risk should I be willing to take?

After a thorough discussion, we can determine the appropriate risk, given your goals and timeframes. One risk that doesn't remain constant is market risk. That's what separates us from others. You don't drive your car at the same speed 100% of the time. You need to adjust your speed to fit the current road conditions. You should be doing the same with your investments. We spend 2-3 hours daily measuring and mapping the market data, price, and volatility to help determine the current and future 'road conditions.' From there, we make the appropriate adjustments to your investments. Preserving your hard-earned capital during significant market declines is the key to building and sustaining wealth.
