At Headwater, we want to help you build wealth. We know the best way to do so is through globally-diversified, low-cost, tax-efficient portfolios and disciplined management. Global Diversification through Asset Allocation Global diversification through asset allocation is the foundation of our investment philosophy. Asset allocation is sound financial strategy because it spreads wealth across multiple asset classes - stocks, bonds, real estate, cash - to minimize risk while maximizing performance. Because it is impossible to accurately or consistently predict which asset class will perform best in a given year, portfolios are balanced across a variety of investment classes, insulating clients from market crises that affect one company, country, region or asset class. Without smart asset allocation, minor events can have a large impact on your portfolio's value. In short, we build all weather portfolios, each tailored to a client's unique circumstances. Low Costs We believe the cost of investing should be minimized. High fees and commissions erode your portfolio's value. When compounded over months and years, even small differences in fees have a dramatic impact on your wealth. Your money should be working for you, not lining the pockets of large brokerage and mutual fund managers. Therefore, at Headwater we do not accept commissions; instead we charge a highly competitive management fee and only buy low-cost, high-quality investments. Tax Efficiency No investor wants to see his or her wealth eroded through taxes. At Headwater, we work hard to construct tax-efficient portfolios using specific investments and investment strategies that reduce your tax burden and keep more of your hard earned money working for you. Discipline Sound investing requires discipline from us and from you. We all must be disciplined in the creation and application of your Investment Policy Statement. We do not depend on the astrology of market timing. We practice disciplined re-balancing. Re-balancing requires us to periodically bring your portfolio back in-line with your target asset allocation. Such disciplined re-balancing helps eliminate emotion and allows us make rational decisions. Summary Headwater Investment Consulting has developed some key strategies to help you build wealth. We use Asset allocation to reduce risk and to gain access to many beneficial asset classes. We are committed to low-cost, tax-efficient investments to keep more of your money working. And we maintain a disciplined strategy to ensure sound decision making during the inevitable market cycles. Together, we can work toward your financial success.
