INVESTMENT APPROACH

There is no single best approach. Instead, numerous paths to success remain available. We’ve found that superior returns result from:

• Patience,
• Establishing a specific investment time horizon, and
• Recognizing that all investment markets are inevitably characterized by bull and bear markets, long extended periods of poor (or zero) returns, and episodic eras.

Nevertheless, bountiful opportunities always exist, somewhere in the world. Opportunities are most often created by investor emotion, behavioral bias, government policy, and government market intervention. The greatest long-run success results from:

• Being opportunistic, i.e., waiting patiently for the fat or more likely opportunity to come along and
• Aligning your portfolio with the current environment.
