Dynamic Portfolio Monitoring

As part of our risk management process, we employ both personal oversight and a suite of automated checks to continuously monitor exposure levels to investments and asset categories. Adjustments to asset allocations are made in response to evolving economic conditions. Our firm maintains a diverse range of Investment Research subscriptions, and the invaluable insights contributed by Michael have substantially augmented the performance of our portfolios. It is often judicious to refrain from following the herd and to prudently limit exposure to any investment.
