Our Distinct Philosophy – Conceived in Alignment with Investor Interests

Investing should be about achieving goals, not beating the markets.

Everything we do is to help long-term investors meet long-term goals.

That starts with improving the investor’s experience.

 

Even the best investment plan is only as good as the investor’s ability to stick with it.

Smoothing the ride and minimizing losses helps to ensure investors can stick with their plan.

Always Invested, Always Hedged

Equity markets tend to go up over time, so we remain always invested.

 

Large losses may derail investors from their goals, so we remain always hedged.

Our simple, yet innovative investment strategy directly manages risk to seek consistent returns through market cycles and preserve irreplaceable capital.

Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.

Philosophy in Action

Our distinct investment philosophy drives our buy, hold, and hedge process.

A HEDGE IS NOT INSURANCE AGAINST LOSSES

The effectiveness of the hedge and degree of downside risk mitigation varies with market conditions. The Defined Risk Strategy can and does have periods of losses.

Randy Swan discusses his philosophy and how the Defined Risk Strategy is designed to address investment challenges of today and tomorrow.

By actively seeking to not lose big, we believe that investors will be better off in the long run.
