Business Description

John works closely with each client to create an individualized investment strategy emphasizing risk-adjusted returns.
Once the Investment Policy Statement is established, John with input from the client determine a well-suited asset allocation and select an appropriate mix of investments. Depending on each client's particular investment needs, the structure of each portfolio can range from a very conservative income-oriented portfolio to a portfolio comprised of growth-oriented equities.

After the portfolio is assembled, John continually evaluates market conditions, the relative values of each client's holdings.Further, John remains in contact with clients, providing quarterly portfolio appraisals and annual tax reporting (for taxable accounts), and Annual Account Reviews.
