Portfolio management in Utah that starts with your plan, not a model

Your portfolio has one job: fund the life your plan describes, at a level of risk you can live with. We build it, manage it and keep it honest with a few rules written down in advance.

Virtual or in person. No prep, no obligation.

Four principles

Simple rules, applied with discipline

1
Built from the plan

Every dollar is assigned a goal and a time horizon before it is assigned an investment. Money you need in the next few years is kept steady. Money with decades ahead of it is allowed to grow.

2
Diversified and cost-aware

Broad diversification across asset classes and regions, with costs and tax drag (return lost to taxes each year) watched as closely as returns. Concentration is something we plan our way out of, not something we add.

3
Tax-smart by default

Asset location across taxable and retirement accounts, tax-loss harvesting when markets give us the chance, and capital gains monitoring before any sale, coordinated with your CPA.

4
Rebalanced with discipline

We rebalance when your allocation drifts outside its bands, not when the news gets loud. The rules are written down in advance, which is what makes them easy to follow in a hard month.

Rebalancing bands

Drift happens. The rules decide what to do about it.

The target and the bands are written into your investment policy before a dollar is invested. When markets push the mix outside the bands, we bring it back. That means trimming what has run up and adding to what has lagged, which is the opposite of what instinct suggests and exactly why the rule exists.

What you can expect

Clear rules, clear reporting

A written investment policy

Your targets, your bands and the rules we follow, in plain language, so you always know why the portfolio looks the way it does.

Review on a schedule

The portfolio is reviewed alongside your plan at least once a year and whenever life changes. That is step four of the process: adjust with intention.

Reporting that answers the real question

What you own, why you own it and whether you are still on track for the goals in your plan, not just how you did against an index.

Where suitable, and where a client meets the eligibility requirements, we may include alternative investments such as real estate or private credit strategies. These carry additional risks, including limited liquidity, and are not appropriate for every investor.

Investing involves risk, and you may incur a profit or loss regardless of the strategy selected, including diversification and asset allocation. Rebalancing a non-retirement account could be a taxable event that may increase your tax liability. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
