Basic Harrington Wealth Management Investment Philosophy
Our investment approach is based on Modern Portfolio Theory, significant academic research, and proven long-term performance of index funds. Our general belief is that markets are efficient, and any increase in expected return comes with an increase in portfolio risk. It has been proven through multiple academic studies that asset allocation and not security selection is the primary determinant of portfolio variability and return. We therefore focus on strategic asset allocation (longer term view), and to a lesser extent, on tactical asset allocation (shorter term view). The tailored portfolio allocation is based on an Investment Policy Statement, which is generated from the unique characteristics of each client.
