SEGREGATED ACCOUNTS
Customized Portfolios
If you have at least $500,000 in investments, you are best served
by having a segregated account with an independent portfolio manager.
Advantages: We offer clients segregated accounts in which individual portfolios are managed on a separate discretionary basis. The benefits of segregated accounts are:
-
portfolio customization to better meet specific client needs such as monthly income, tax considerations, etc…
-
individual transaction reporting, and
-
daily access to holdings and direct custodial ownership of securities.
Strategies: Each client portfolio being managed on a segregated basis falls under one of the following five broad investment strategies, which are determined with clients based on risk tolerances, return objectives, tax considerations and other factors:
-
Conservative Income: at least 90% in fixed income securities. The emphasis is on capital preservation and income generation.
-
Balanced Income: 10% to 40% in equities with the balance in fixed income. The emphasis in on capital preservation and income generation, with capital appreciation targeted to keep up with inflation.
