A Financial Advisor With A Difference!
A disciplined, business-like approach to investment, with a special focus on foreign investments that offer exceptional value.
Buy Value
This means that you, as my client, only buy good value. Most investors care a whole lot more about what they are buying, than the price they are paying for it. Many times I have heard an investor justify holding a losing position in an over-priced stock or mutual fund by saying "But it's a great company!" It might well be a great company, and still be a lousy stock, if it's overpriced.
Invest Internationally
I look everywhere for great value, including in foreign markets where the best values often arise. Having worked in the financial services field abroad for over a decade, I have a familiarity with foreign markets that my clients find very refreshing. Have you ever looked at investing in Eastern Europe? Chile? Singapore? Why is Warren Buffett investing overseas for the first time in his life? Many times, these and other areas offer much faster growth than we have here in North America, at cheaper prices. I don't want my clients to be limited to just one geographic region.
Hold For The Long Term
Consider business owners: they don't sell out of their businesses just because the value has gone up. As a matter of fact, they will probably increase their investment in businesses that perform well. After all, the business has begun to prove itself, so why not put more into it? Most investors, on the other hand, are inordinately fond of taking profits. As soon as something looks good, let's get out! They will cling on like grim death to a losing stock, but get itchy to sell out after making 30% on a winner. How much sense does that make? Business owners invest for the long-term. So do good investors. So do my clients.
Be Disciplined: Adhere To The Plan
Any business runs under some kind of organization, or plan. They don't invest in a retail store one day, only to get out of it and buy a machine shop or a construction firm the next. They have a plan. So do my clients. We decide together what kind of portfolio to create, based on a thorough assessment of your needs and situation. Then we implement the plan, and only the plan. There is no discretionary trading, no unexplained transactions of any kind. You are in control.
If you would like a free, no-obligation opinion, give me a call. I am sure you will see a difference.
