In this quarterly post, we review the composition and the performance of several investment portfolios managed by our Investment Advisor. Portfolios we review are actual live portfolios for several different clients and range from a conservative client who is already in retirement and looking for income to a very aggressive portfolio set up for young children with a 30-year investment horizon. The purpose of this post is to educate our investors and clients and help set expectations on how different portfolios perform over time. It also showcases how we think about and manage capital assets. We also show “Advisor View” which is an overview of the composition and performance of all portfolios under our management.
Advisors View
Advisors view includes all client accounts and all client allocated portfolios under our management. It’s a snapshot of the advisor dashboard we look at every day.
