At CI Downing & Yahnke Private Wealth we create and manage a customized portfolio built with the objective to help you achieve your unique wealth goals. We follow an evidence-based approach, focus on controlling the controllable, and balance the returns you desire with the risks required to get there. Because we know how crucial asset allocation is to success, we create your unique asset allocation very thoughtfully, diversifying on multiple levels. And, we evaluate returns against your goals—and after costs—to get a truer picture of investment performance.
When it comes to investing, one size does NOT fit all. Our investment management process begins with understanding you and building a customized investment portfolio that can help you achieve all of your distinct goals. We also believe in the critical importance of:
COST EFFICIENCY
It is easy to underestimate the impact costs can have on your portfolio, but it is not wise. In order to help minimize costs, we keep a sharp eye on trading costs, expense ratios and other fund fees, and we keep our advisory fee competitive.
ONGOING TAX MANAGEMENT
Like fees, taxes can eat away at the value of your portfolio. We seek to keep up-to-date with changing tax laws and focus on minimizing the taxes you pay on your investments.
REGULAR REBALANCING
Emotions are rarely a good guide for investment decisions—and buying and selling based upon them can erode your returns over time. We monitor your portfolio daily and buy and sell actively to bring everything back in line with your plan.
COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY
We keep you informed about what you own, why you own it, what it costs and how it’s performing
RIGOROUS DUE DILIGENCE
Our Investment Committee comprised of numerous CFA charterholders from our advisory and trading teams regularly reviews investment vehicles and allocations to create our investment portfolio models.
