About Cascadia Wealth Management

My financial planning practice emphasizes a conservative investment management approach utilizing various "Active Money Mangers" and alternative investments. I believe my clients are best served by utilizing active money management strategies that are designed to pursue strong returns while reducing the level of risk that is found in most stock and bond market investments. Active management is characterized as taking a proactive approach that utilizes Fundamental and Technical Analysis to create value in a portfolio beyond that of a "Buy-and-Hold" strategy. Active Management attempts to limit an investor's risk exposure in "down" stock markets, while pursuing growth when the stock market is moving up. My goal is to provide investment programs that pursue strong returns relative to the amount of risk that is taken. This allows conservative and risk conscious investors the ability to comfortably allocate a higher portion of their investment portfolios to the segments of the financial markets that have historically generated the highest returns.
