What is your investment process?


We utilize a simple three step process that adheres to our investment philosophy of long term investing.  We begin by working with clients to establish their financial objectives.  During the process of discovery we will ask questions that build a model that includes Lifestyle Management, Liabilities Management, Risk Management & of course Investment Management.  We then allocate their assets according to risk tolerance, investment time horizon and client objectives in order to build a portfolio that minimizes risk and maximizes returns. Finally, we will continually evaluate the portfolio to make sure its performance is meeting our client’s objectives.

What is the difference between financial planning and investment management?


Financial planning is the process of setting a comprehensive strategy utilizing all a client's resources towards an end goal.  Investment management is the management of those assets in a way that is congruent with the strategy and risk parameters set by the financial plan.  The most important thing to understand is that the two are not mutually exclusive.  At RHS, we believe that an updated financial plan is pivotal in long-term financial success.  Did you know that 65% of Americans do not have a written financial plan?  And less than 17% of those who do update it regularly. That’s because most Americans manage their money backwards, they hire an investment manager before they have created a financial plan.  At RHS we put you first by creating a financial plan first that clearly defines objectives, outlines risk and defines investment time horizons before we put the money to work in your portfolio.
