Investment Philosophy

We encourage our clients to stand by our Investment Principles

  • Investing is for meeting long term goals, saving is for short term goals
  • Diversification is essential – Broad diversification with exposure to all parts of the global stock and bond markets reduces risk
  • Market timing and performance are losing strategies – we believe it is time in the market that counts, not timing the markets
  • Past performance is no guarantee of future performance
  • Markets price assets fairly and trying to ‘outperform’ the market can be a costly game with little reward
  • Long term investing, not short term speculating
