Our fee-based investment advisory program is comprised of 10 different model portfolios using mutual funds and exchange traded funds (ETFs). The strategies are managed by the Spectrum Investment Committee on a discretionary basis.
The Spectrum Investment Committee oversees investment policy, strategy and security selection. We offer a wide range of strategies, from conservative to aggressive. The process begins with consultations to determine strategy based on the client’s financial goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. We help clients identify, understand and commit to the appropriate long-term investment objectives.
Our investment process involves the use of strategic and tactical asset allocation methods. We select indices representing various market segments to construct model portfolios. This begins with long-term strategic asset allocation based on modern portfolio theory, which emphasizes diversification to reduce risk and improve portfolio performance. Tactical asset allocation is an active portfolio strategy that allows the Spectrum Investment Committee to adjust a client’s model portfolio exposure based on short or medium-term expectations for economic conditions, valuations and market cycles.
