Adjustments are made mainly to rebalance positions, or due to changes in risk tolerance or investment horizons. This strategy provides tax efficiencies as well.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>&gt;<strong> Fixed-Income Investment Diversification: \u00a0<\/strong>We believe Fixed-Income Investments are necessary components of well-diversified portfolios. Alternative fixed investments, such as a Stable Value Account or Multi-Year Guaranteed Annuity, can also be used in addition to traditional Bonds and Bond Funds. We review fixed investment choices, taking into account forecasted rate changes.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>&gt;<strong> Cost to Reward Strategies:<\/strong> We take client fees and the tax implications of our recommendations very seriously. We include both when evaluating the benefit of a recommended action or strategy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>&gt;\u00a0<strong>Diversification Outside of Traditional Portfolios: <\/strong>Diversified portfolio design is based on the low correlation between price changes of different investments. Because of this low correlation in prices, a portfolio made up of both stocks and bonds usually carries a lower risk than a portfolio entirely comprised of equities alone. Recently, however, there have been situations where both seem to be moving in unison. We believe in introducing a small percentage of your portfolio into &#8220;Market Neutral&#8221; investments to increase diversification and reduce overall market risk.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph
