Investment Management Services

The principals of SNWM have years of experience managing portfolios and investments at the institutional level, using tools and techniques which are often not used by individuals and retail brokers. 

Each strategy employed is tailored to the specific situation and portfolio needs, with the overall objective of lowering risk and/or increasing returns for different time frames.  Investment objectives are developed and detailed in the investment policy statement, which is developed in consultation with SNWM.  The investments are then managed in accordance with the policy noting total costs and after-tax returns.  SNWM uses a combination of active and passive strategies, paying only for net performance and seeking lowest possible costs when performance is substantially identical.  In most situations, SNWM can add substantial amounts of value to one’s financial profile using this approach.
