The Right Fit

He takes the time to learn about his clients’ financial needs and works with them to determine their investment goals. He then constructs and manages a portfolio to achieve these goals within their time horizon and with due regard to their tolerance for risk. As a Portfolio Manager, Paul manages investments on a discretionary basis, shouldering the concerns of market gyrations and noisy headlines so his clients can get on with enjoying their lives. He keeps things on track with regular and relevant reviews and communication.
Paul knows that the first step to investing successfully is ensuring an investor’s assets are allocated in a way that matches their objectives and appetite for risk. He takes a patient approach, understanding that gains come from a series of careful and opportune decisions aimed at bearing fruit over time.
