Enabling people to plan life well through smart & thoughtful financial guidance.

Our Investment Philosophy

PLAN. PROFIT. PROTECT.™

Seth Allen.

Committed to their financial well-being, our solitary goal is to help our clients create the life they want, with the preservation of their wealth being paramount. As such, we are committed to investing their hard-earned money in suitable, best-in-class investment strategies that will preserve and grow their savings over the long term.

How do we do it? In addition to investing in economic sectors that show strength with positive momentum, we employ a proven variety of tactical asset allocation strategies, including the use of cash-like investments during times of uncertainty. We are students of Benjamin Graham (Warren Buffett’s pedagogue) who believed the “management of risk is more important than management of returns”.

While implementing our proactive investment management approach, we focus on
measured risk, consistent returns
and effective execution.

“As an owner of a financial firm, we understand that our clients aren’t working with us because they want average. They want the best of what is possibly out there. When we started interviewing Portfolio Managers, we knew that we wanted the same for our clients. Someone that we can trust, is a leader in their industry, someone that sees beyond the short term and consistently deliver long term results because of their unique abilities organizational and personal self-discipline. Seth Allen and his team have been all of those things and much more. We have referred Seth to numerous clients and he continues to exceed our high expectations.” – Jeremy Reinbolt, CIM, President and Chief Financial Advisor, Videre
