Traditional mutual funds and jack-of-all trade financial advisors do not cut it anymore. Equities (stocks) form the most important component of your portfolio. For investors with beyond a 10 year horizon, equities can often comprise around 70% of your portfolio and should be responsible for the majority of the growth within your portfolio. Moreover, for those close to or in retirement, the dividends provided by strong, cash flow positive equities can provide the income necessary to supplement your existing pension or other income vehicles.

Entrusting all your critical growth and income related capital in your portfolio to traditional financial advisors whose knowledge is stretched thin between retirement, insurance, estate planning, and taxation responsibilities, or to traditional fund managers (who charge too much and continually underperform the market) just does not make sense.

With stocks often comprising up to 70% of your portfolio, it is critical that this component receive your primary focus. As such, we put the focus on research and stock selection.
