JGS Wealth Management
Personal Financial Planning
Our Investment Philosophy
We believe that the market is efficient and therefore, it's extremely difficult to "time the market." In fact, research has shown that active managers do not beat their benchmarks on a consistent basis over the long-term. That's why we take a thoughtful and balanced approach.
Our client portfolios are globally diversified across many asset classes. They are low cost and tax efficient. We believe that the best investment experience is derived from portfolios based on academic research, not media hype or speculation. We help our clients concentrate on the investment components that they can control: Risk (asset allocation), Cost and Taxes. Beginning with solid personal financial planning, we believe our clients are best positioned to meet their long-term financial goals.
