Our Philosophy.
We are intentional about risk. Rather than unintentionally taking inappropriate risks, our primary objectives for the majority of our portfolios are risk mitigation and preservation of capital. We minimize risk in client portfolios by incorporating modern portfolio theory and fundamental analysis coupled with diversification as the foundation of our methodology. To deploy risk effectively, we utilize low-correlated asset classes including fixed income securities, equities that are identified from various market sectors, exchange-traded funds, annuities and if appropriate, alternative investments.
We pay close attention to the tax ramifications of our investment decisions for our taxable portfolios. In fact, we collaborate with your tax professional to ensure a free-flow of information all under your direction and authorization.
At c5, we take the time to understand your individual goals and needs and create your investment portfolio using the most appropriate investment solutions for your situation. Our process is broken down into 6 steps and centered around you:

Creating Your Portfolio
c5 uses an asset allocation process which allows us to design your portfolio using not only historical data, but also future projections of market and economic conditions. Rather than solely relying on the past, we use qualitative and quantitative analysis to help identify market trends that are likely to persist into the future. This information enables us to design your portfolio with the most appropriate balance of securities.
Actively Managing Your Assets
Markets don't tend to move in tandem. At any given time, one investment may be surging ahead while another may be lagging behind. The key is to maintain a properly diversified portfolio that continually reflects a combination of investments that should move the portfolio ahead as a whole over the long term. c5 actively manages portfolios in order to dampen volatility over time.
Monitoring Assures Consistency
c5 continually monitors your investments to maintain balance, efficiency and consistency in your portfolio. Through our asset monitoring process, we routinely check your portfolio against market and economic conditions. Additionally, every quarter, each of your securities is screened and evaluated relative to their asset class. We then adjust your portfolio when market conditions, your objectives or the security screening process dictates a change is necessary.
Quarterly Reports Keep You Informed
Each quarter, c5 provides a detailed investment performance report showing your portfolio returns for the quarter and since the inception of your account. You will know how your assets have performed since the first day you invested with us. As part of the reporting process, c5 can include assets held elsewhere, such as 401k's, annuities, outside brokerage accounts and pension plans. The reports also compare your portfolio's performance to key market indices.
c5 is an independent firm dedicated to an investment process and philosophy that promotes customization of your investment portfolios, conservation of your wealth and opportunity for prudent growth of your assets.
