INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY:

At the Sturkie Wealth Management Group, our investment philosophy is quite simple. We believe that both proper asset allocation and proper investment vehicle selection are the cornerstones to any efficient portfolio. This combination is what drives long-term risk-adjusted value in our client portfolios.

Our portfolios are thematic and tactical in nature. This allows us the ability to be nimble and capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace. Being tactical also affords us the ability to reduce risk where it may be perceived. We are philosophically distinct in that we employ a disciplined approach to asset allocation, yet we are unconstrained in our investment universe. Our definition of value investing is seeking growth and income at current prices which we believe are dramatically discounted from their fair market value. Thus, we look for value on a global scale within all traditional and non-traditional asset classes. At times, while seeking value, we may encounter short term volatility. We view volatility as an opportunity to capitalize on short term inefficiencies in the marketplace which may benefit our portfolio in the long run.

We focus heavily on risk management. Part of our risk management process is performing ongoing research and due diligence on all of our managers. In doing so, we have a qualitative and quantitative process that all our managers must meet before consideration in our portfolios. Our managers and portfolios are monitored on a daily basis.

Most importantly, we believe in full transparency. We align our investment interests alongside our clients. Our clients have full access to their portfolios. We believe in the concept of total return. Thus, we seek out investment vehicles with the most efficient cost to our clients.

All investing involves risk including loss of principal. No strategy assures success or protects against loss.

To make Wealthtender free for readers, we earn a nominal monthly fee from financial advisors and firms in exchange for marketing services (including being featured on this profile page), subject to terms of use. This compensation creates a natural conflict of interest when we favor their promotion over others. Wealthtender is not a client of these advisors or firms. Testimonials may not be representative of other clients’ experiences and do not guarantee future performance or success.
