Our Fact-Based Strategy - Underpinning our Fact-Based strategy is a set of core beliefs about the market. These core beliefs are: 1. We don't know where the market will go - and neither does anyone else. 2. Wherever the market goes, it will get there by trending. 3. Along the way, there will be outperformers and underperformers. Armed with these three core beliefs, we are well equipped to handle whatever the market brings - ALL WITHOUT HAVING TO MAKE A SINGLE PREDICTION. Using supply and demand analysis, our Fact- Based strategy concentrates on identifying outperformers to include in our portfolios.

Brad, Carla, Alex and Tucker (puppies), live in Loris, SC and have been married for 25 years. He received his undergraduate degree from Clemson University and in 1995 attained a Series 6 and Series 63 Securities License as well as attended Trident University and The American College to obtain his insurance license and become certified by the LUTC in "Advanced Estate Planning". Brad has also graduated from Duke University's CFP (Certified Financial Planner) program and he has completed Harvard Business School's CORe program. The program focuses on Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, as well as Financial Accounting. Brad is currently enrolled in Oxford Universitys online Risk Management course. Many advisers are compensated by commissions. This could possibly influence the advice that is provided. Therefore, he also holds a Series 65 Securities License and is bound to a "Fiduciary" duty as opposed to a "Suitability" duty. This is a very important distinction.
