Investment Strategies
Your investment portfolio should reflect your tax situation, the time horizon for goal achievement and your tolerance for risk. Only with the knowledge of your personal wealth accumulation goals can a financial professional develop a suitable strategy for you.
- Your financial professional has access to: mutual funds, fixed, indexed and variable life insurance and annuities, investment advisory programs, brokerage accounts, ETF’s, and individual securities.
- We recommend investment vehicles based on your unique needs.
- There is no perfect investment…portfolios should be personalized and you should understand the pros & cons of your portfolio.
Because wealth management is an ongoing process, your financial professional is available for consultations and updates as often as necessary to assure you are comfortable with the management and direction of your portfolio. As opposed to “Stock Pickers”, we pride ourselves as “Risk Managers”.

How to Choose Investments

- Mutual funds
- Fixed, indexed, and variable life insurance
- Annuities
- Investment advisory programs
- Brokerage accounts
- EFT’s
- Individual securities
There is no one perfect investment option that works for everyone. Instead, we believe your portfolio should be personalized, because everyone has different financial needs and goals. We also take our time to make sure you understand what you’re investing in and why. This includes knowing about the pros and cons of each of your investment decisions.
Your Investment Strategy Is Personal
There are as many investment strategies as there are investors, because everyone has their unique preferences and needs. Your investment strategy also needs to consider the tax implications to help you reap the most benefits from your efforts. But the 6 most common investment strategies are these:
- Short-term
- Long-term
- Active
- Passive
- High-risk
- Low-risk
Depending on your financial goals, we may actually combine investment strategies. You could also have short- and long-term investing goals, which will require a different investment approach. We’re here to customize your portfolio to meet your objectives and help you build the wealth you deserve. The first step is to understand what you’re hoping to achieve with your investments. Then we can create an approach that allows you to work towards that goal.
FAQs about Investment Strategies
What Are the Types of Investment Strategies?

What Is the Difference between Investment Planning and Financial Planning?
