Our Expectation: Stocks Will Act Like Stocks
Step 1: Rebalancing
Step 2: New Core Holdings

How Much is Too Much?
How much risk can you tolerate? Would you be uncomfortable if your portfolio was down 10% in the next six months? What about 20% or more? Our 5-minute risk assessment questionnaire (powered by Riskalyze) will help you identify your appetite for risk and reward. We can then take a look at your accounts to see if your investments align with the results.
Taxes Matter
Most of these changes will occur in IRA’s or other types of accounts which don’t create a tax bill for you. If there are changes which need to be made in a taxable account, we will call you to discuss the tax implications.
Stay Informed.
What’s Happening Now is a podcast talking about current events which impact your bottom line.
