Investing

    The goal of investing is not to beat the market. It is to earn a return that allows you and your family to achieve your own personal wealth goals. What is the purpose of your savings and investments? What goals are you trying to achieve? Let’s nail those down together. Then we’ll build an investment plan, determine your optimal asset mix, select best-in-class managers, and adjust, monitor, and report.

    Investing is like dentistry, engineering and tax planning.

    Many do-it-yourself investors unwittingly follow the strategy presented in this graph. Investing, like dentistry, engineering and tax planning, should be handled by a professional. And when people think about investing, they normally think about the individual stocks they hold. Investment results, however, are primarily driven by your asset mix: your overall mix of stocks, bonds, and other asset classes. But before determining your optimal asset mix, you first have to know what you are trying to achieve with your wealth. This is where we start.

    Investment Process:

    1. Confirm Goals/Objectives

    The goal of investing is not to “beat the market.” It is to earn a return that allows you and your family to achieve your own personal wealth goals. What is the purpose of your savings and investments? What goals are you trying to achieve? Let’s nail those down, and then we’ll build an investment plan.

    2. Determine Optimal Asset Mix

    Once we know what you are trying to achieve, we’ll determine your estimated required rate of return. Taking tax considerations into account, we’ll build an optimal asset mix (stocks, bonds, mortgages, real estate, alternative investments, etc.) aimed at achieving your required rate of return over time, while balancing for risk.

    3. Select Best-in-Class Managers

    Other advisors may play the role of salesperson, client manager, and stock picker. We have worked with and studied investment managers for over 20 years. To be the best, you have to focus. Period.

    Within each asset class, we seek and have relationships with some of the best managers in the world. We will never be as smart as the professionals who focus on investing 24/7. But we know how to find them, evaluate them, select them, and monitor them.

    And because of our scale, we can bring access and preferential pricing to our clients.

    4. Monitor, Adjust, & Report

    Once the investments have been made, we constantly monitor our selected managers and ensure they perform as expected.

    We’ll adjust your portfolio as your circumstances evolve.

    And we’ll provide comprehensive consolidated investment reporting, including on assets not managed by Ginsler Wealth, should you wish.

    We solve problems.
