EVIDENCE-BASED INVESTING WEBINAR

In this webinar Mark will present what exactly evidence-based investing is and why, when it comes to your time, your money, your future AND YOUR FAMILY. . .  we choose EVIDENCE-BASED INVESTING.

Serving Families and
Small Businesses in Utah

For Families

Wealth management for families is about more than “money”. It’s also built around your core values. It’s about questions like; What’s your true purpose for money? What should your wealth help you accomplish? What could it accomplish for others?

A family plan considers the entirety of your financial life. Your assets, your liabilities, your taxes, your income, your business – these aspects of your financial life are never isolated from each other. Occasionally or frequently, they interrelate. Family wealth management recognizes this interrelation and takes a systematic, integrated approach toward improving your financial situation.

Why Choose Us?

We are a fiduciary

We have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of our clients. This means that we put their interests first, ahead of our own. We do not earn commissions on the products we sell. Instead, we charge an annual management fee. This aligns our interests with our clients. As they do better, so do we. In most cases, we can provide investments that cost less than what our clients would pay if they tried to do it themselves. As your investment advisor in Utah we always have your best interest in mind.

We follow the Uniform Prudent Investor Act

In 1992 The American Law Institute published the Uniform Prudent Investor Act (UPIA), which is a document that explicitly defines the responsibilities and duties of being a fiduciary. UPIA states that the fiduciary’s role is to manage risk and expected return by developing and monitoring the portfolios with the idea that you should diversify, measure risk, and account for all costs. Fortunately, there is a well-established system based on academic and scientific research that provides reliable information when building a portfolio.

We use an Evidence-Based Investment Philosophy

With so much conflicting information out there, the key to evidence-based investing lies in adhering strictly to academic standards of research. It's the easiest way to separate truth from fiction. Reliable outcomes necessitate a copious amount of representative, vast and defect-free data. Authors should remain unbiased, free from any desire to manipulate the data to reach the desired conclusion. Additional studies can replicate the same results in various contexts, eventually leading one to conclude that these outcomes are likely to remain consistent. To ensure accuracy, the data, methodology, and results must get published in reliable and authoritative peer-reviewed outlets where experts can provide valuable feedback on the discoveries. However, there should be enough time to pass to make it possible. Real-world results must get applied afterward. Put differently, even if a theoretical approach is expected to yield higher returns, the advantages must be appraised against all actual expenses and portfolio-wide exchanges. For instance, sometimes, a small source of potential profits can countervail an even more considerable one. We may combine them or favor another depending on the prevailing circumstances.

We have GIPS audited returns

Ensure that the performance of your money manager is regularly audited by a third-party professional like Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS). Many money managers, financial advisors, stockbrokers, and planners claim consistent, superior performance, but do not provide independently-validated evidence of that performance from a firm like GIPS. It's always in your best interest to ask for a GIPS audit report. If they can't provide one, you should think twice about entrusting your money to them. For more information about GIPS, visit their website at gipsstandards.org.
