Business Description

Our investment philosophy is called
"Passive Money Management"

Our investment activities are generally defined by principles that are collectively known as Modern Portfolio Theory. One of its primary tenets is the idea that the future cannot be predicted, and neither can stock prices. Another is that a portfolio composed of multiple asset classes should experience fewer price movements and volatility than more concentrated portfolios - even though the more diversified portfolio will inevitably include losing positions at any given time.
