Step 2:

Setting a Risk Budget

Defining Drawdown Risk

The old way of simply checking a box and stereotyping investors with subjective semantics simply doesn’t work. Terms like conservative, moderate, or aggressive fail to consider loss. Our risk analysis focuses on how much downside an investor is comfortable with.

Our goal during this process of building your Wealthplan blueprint is to allow you to pinpoint your risk number by selecting how much "downside" you are comfortable with.

Strategies

When it comes to diversification,

we question tradition.

Traditional asset allocation appears to provide a diversified portfolio comprised of asset classes. However, this so-called “diversification” typically fails during a downmarket event, such as between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008 (pictured below). Correlation reveals that the portfolio isn’t so diversified after all.

A lineup of Investment strategies, some better suited for up markets and some for down markets, are incorporated at statistically optimal weights through a proprietary full-scale strategy diversification process.

By creating this optimal mix, the diversified blend of methodologies creates a portfolio that is designed to dynamically adapt to changing markets.
