Investment Management
Asset Allocation and Portfolio Management
Asset allocation is informed by your priority-driven wealth plan and matched with Liability-Driven Investment (LDI) portfolios.
LDI is an investment strategy focused on gaining enough assets to cover all current and future liabilities. In this context, liabilities are defined as your future cash flows required to fund your goals and aspirations.
LDI portfolios may include a combination of assets, including stocks, bonds, real estate, and alternative investments.
This approach allows you to define success as specific family outcomes instead of an arbitrary performance benchmark.
Investment Management Philosphy
Harvester employs a total market investment philosophy, implementing priority-driven asset allocation, liquidity management, and tailor-made index portfolios, focusing on expense and tax minimization.
Our global index solutions are designed to provide broad diversification across different asset classes and securities within a market and across geographies. Hiring an index-oriented investment firm has measurable benefits, including diversification, tax-loss harvesting, direct indexing, discipline rebalancing, and asset location.
Portfolio construction is rooted in evidence-based investing (EBI). EBI leverages long-term return data to construct portfolios that historically compensate investors for appropriate levels of risk. We do not advocate attempting to outperform the market through stock picking or market timing, as these approaches have shown limited success over the long term.
By combining a total market investment philosophy with evidence-based investing, our clients benefit from a disciplined and systematic approach to capture the market's long-term growth opportunity.
