Portfolio Advisory Services
Our long-term, disciplined investment approach uses a variety of world-class solutions, including Portfolio Advisory Services, which was created using Nobel Prize-winning concepts. Portfolio Advisory Services is a fee-based investment program designed to help you capture market returns and pursue your long-term investment goals. It offers a wide range of asset allocation portfolios strategically built to help accomplish your particular investment objectives. As your investment adviser representative, and with the help of this program, my objective is to help you invest your assets and manage long-term risk based on your risk tolerance and personal financial goals. The program features a highly diversified investment approach, which uses a belief system based on Nobel Prize-winning financial concepts supported by decades of market research and asset-class data. With this disciplined approach, you can stay invested in the market over the long term. Portfolio Advisory Services uses low-cost institutional asset-class mutual funds, provided primarily by Dimensional Fund Advisors and selected by the Investment Committee, to build broadly diversified portfolios that incorporate fixed income to help manage risk. Assets are custodied at Charles Schwab & Co.
