Dimensional Investing
We are proud to partner with Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), a highly respected investment manager whose strategies are available to investors exclusively through a select group of financial advisors.
DFA's investment philosophy fits hand in glove with our core beliefs. Those beliefs stem directly from the respected body of science and research known as Modern Portfolio Theory. Though the math behind MPT may be complex, the principles are as clear as day:
- Markets Work. There is no better gauge of stocks' and bonds' current, intrinsic value than the measuring machine known as the market. While the investment world is full of "experts" who claim the ability to beat the market, few actually do so. And those who do usually fail to sustain their advantage.
- Diversification Works. Investment diversification is rightly called the only truly free lunch. As numerous academic studies have proven, carefully distributing your risk over selected investment types enhances your ability to capture market returns while minimizing the serious losses that can cripple your performance.
- Asset-Class Exposure Works. Diversification is most effective when it strikes the correct balance between specific types of asset classes. DFA has a strong track record of harnessing "pure" asset-class exposure to fine-tune the balance between performance and downside protection.
Customized Portfolios
Sportfishing Financial Group creates portfolios of DFA funds based on your unique goals, time horizon and risk tolerance. The result: Low-cost, globally diversified portfolios tailored to your goals. And because DFA's "passively" managed portfolios have low investment "turnover," they are both low-cost and tax-efficient. It's a combination that we believe can help to provide our clients with added confidence and peace of mind.
