financial advisor firm minneapolis mn

Philosophy

Our Beliefs

  • Active diversification among asset classes based on relative valuation increases the probability of success.
  • Holistic planning along the entire wealth-planning spectrum increases the financial well being of our clients exponentially.
  • Properly researched, selected and monitored active managers can and do add value to investment portfolios.
  • While it is true that 75% of active managers under perform the market, skill and sound processes exist to help find the 25% that out perform the market.
  • That tax avoidance causes more bad investment decisions than any other cause.
  • For most individuals, their emotions overrule logic when it comes to investing.
  • Most people have unrealistic ideas of how much it will take to be financially independent.
  • Reducing the layers of investment costs will improve investment results.
  • Planning should serve the values and purposes of the client, not the tax code.
  • Money is a much better tool than a weapon.
  • Managing money without planning and discipline is like playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun.
  • "Boxes" are for other people.  We don't have to "get outside of the box," because we have disposed of it altogether.  Alternative investments should be and are considered when appropriate.
