Investment Philosophy
Global Wealth Management’s investment strategy is based on long-term investing. The firm avoids trying to time the market, believing that this leads to knee-jerk decisions that might ultimately lose money for clients. Risk control is also an important part of the firm’s strategy. It looks to limit portfolio viability, preferring “controlled risk” that allows for capital gains while protecting against major losses.
Investments favored by the firm include exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, exchange-traded notes (ETNs), stocks and bonds. The firm bases its decisions about asset allocations and exact investments on an individual client’s investment preferences and personal financial situation.
