1. When it comes to the disciplines of portfolio construction and remodeling, we tirelessly work to follow three main steps: Gather Well-Sourced Information. Interpret Information Based on Rules (not emotion or guesswork). Apply Findings to Each Client’s Personalized Objectives.
2. Our work for clients includes close daily attention to the value found in global markets, company news, and a multitude of events that potentially impact our clients hard-earned wealth. The world “has gone global,” and so our asset allocation frameworks must include disciplines to consistently assess relative-value across numerous countries and territories.
The above infographics provide insight into expected returns, volatility, and the relative valuation status (expensive or not expensive) of broader markets around the globe. For example, the top-left visual illustrates that US (LARGE) stocks taken as a whole have a SHILLER P/E of 29 versus their historic Median value of 16. So, an analysis of the data could lead to a conclusion that the US (LARGE) stock market is relatively expensive at present levels. By contrast, the data for CANADA (top-right) taken as a whole has a SHILLER P/E of 20 versus its historic Median value of 19. So, consistent analysis could lead to a conclusion that the valuation of the broad CANADIAN stock market is neutrally valued at present levels.
