Investment Advisory Services

We know that time is one of your most precious commodities. So we look to simplify the investment planning process by integrating all aspects of your financial life—-tax estate and investments—into a single comprehensive plan that addresses each facet of your unique wealth management requirements. Our investment advisory approach is not a one—-time event, but rather an ongoing process that involves rigorous and disciplined manager selection, oversight, and evaluation for all asset classes—-including more sophisticated alternative investments. We then implement your strategy in close collaboration with your existing trusted advisors to strive for maximum estate benefits and tax efficiencies.

Advantages of our Investment Advisory Services:

• Objectivity—Our investment recommendations are unbiased, conflict-free and based solely on your particular needs.
• Open-architecture approach—Investment recommendations are carefully selected based on your specific needs—-not our inventory. Our intensive research identifies a diverse group of managers who we believe can deliver superior risk-adjusted returns over time.
• Total portfolio view— We understand the importance of the big picture, and to that end, provide you with a consolidated, comprehensive view of your entire investment portfolio.
• Detailed performance monitoring and in-depth reporting—We continually monitor, measure and evaluate aftertax performance of your investments at the account, entity and family level and provide you with detailed periodic reporting.
• Ability to achieve multiple objectives— While performance is critical, there's more to an effective investment strategy. Our investment experts provide close oversight and coordination to help you achieve multiple objectives, such as investment diversification, tax minimization, wealth transfer and strategic philanthropy.

Investment Committee Oversight

The Harris myCFO Investment Committee, comprising a seasoned team of investment experts from a variety of disciplines, provides quantitative and qualitative due diligence, monitoring and oversight, and risk management of all investment managers and strategies. We negotiate the best possible terms on your behalf, pay close attention to style consistency and allocation, and in many instances are able to provide access to managers who typically work only with institutional investors.

Investment Philosophy

Selecting the appropriate asset mix is one of the most important investment decisions clients can make toward successfully meeting their investment objectives and managing their portfolio risk. While the foundation of a portfolio should be a long-term strategic asset allocation, we believe that substantial value is created by making disciplined, research-driven tactical asset allocation adjustments to capture market opportunities as they evolve.
