a passion for investing Our investment teams are relentless in their pursuit of alpha for their clients. They thrive on the intellectual challenge of designing portfolios that address a client’s needs. They dig into portfolio and risk analytics to understand what’s working—and what’s not. And they work diligently to understand how each manager may impact their clients’ portfolios. the right portfolio for you Building a portfolio is easy. Building a portfolio that reflects each clients’ needs takes a lot more effort. In working directly with their investment teams, clients understand that the entire investing process begins with an understanding of their goals, how they prefer to invest, tax planning considerations, and what level of risk feels right for them. And that also includes, where appropriate, developing portfolios that align with each client’s values (we even built a bird-friendly portfolio for the National Audubon Society).
