Armand's basic investment philosophy is built upon risk management using a disciplined process of investment consulting. Every investment contains some degree of risk. Even those investments with lower returns and perceived risk carry inflation and purchasing power risk.
The major ingredient in risk management is diversification through an appropriate asset allocation. Many people diversify by owning several different mutual funds. The challenge often is that they may own some of the same underlying stocks. Having multiple funds which own the same stocks is not diversification.
