Custom Wealth Management

ETF Capital Management actively manages a range of proprietary, ETF-based investment strategies, spanning the spectrum from conservative income and total return to global growth-focused investment models. These strategies are combined into a custom portfolio solution designed to meet your personal financial goals and risk tolerance.

Each strategy is actively managed to position your portfolio in undervalued assets when opportunities arise, and conservatively reposition when assets appear expensive. In this way, all clients benefit from our active global investment style, within a custom portfolio that is built for their needs.

Our customization process spans a series of conversations with you as we learn more about your needs and design your personal Investment Policy Statement (outlining risk tolerance, income needs, time horizon, and objectives). This information gathering process allows our investment team (headed by Larry Berman, CIO) to study your investment profile and identify the appropriate allocation to our investment strategies to produce the desired performance outcome.

Turning Defense into Offense: A Tactical Approach

Our investment team monitors market cycles and trends to identify opportunities to actively reduce or add exposure when appropriate. We position to protect gains and avoid losses when assets are expensive and then reposition for growth when better valuations are available.

Our conservative approach to wealth management is geared more toward achieving your goals within your comfort zone than attaining the highest possible return at any cost. Our specialty is preserving the purchasing power of your money against the forces of inflation, taxation, and currency devaluation, while still enabling you to sleep at night.

The benefits of our active wealth management approach are clear: a smoother ride and downside protection creates better returns over time than a buy and hold approach.

Financial Life Strategy

Trusts and Inter-Generational Transfers

Managing a trust requires special care and even-handedness to satisfy both the instructions in the trust deed and the spirit of the settlor’s intentions. There is often a delicate balance between immediate and long-term needs, competing priorities and the voices of key decision makers. Our expertise stretches beyond wealth management to tax-efficient wealth harvesting, trusts and inter-generational transfers, estate planning and planning for persons with disabilities; ensuring that whatever decisions you may be facing, you are not facing them alone.

We can not provide you with the right answers until we have asked the right questions. During our life strategy discussions, we may pose questions related to the following in order to better understand what the trust is designed to achieve and the specific needs of its beneficiaries.

At ETF Capital Management, we are committed to the happiness and wellbeing of the beneficiaries of the estate plan. A personalized Financial Life Strategy will help the beneficiaries to get to a state of financial confidence; achieving the financial stability that the trust was designed to create for them.

Through regular dialogue we will continually refine and optimize your custom wealth management and life strategy program.

Monthly Commentary: To keep you up to date on our current thinking and strategy, we write a monthly commentary for clients the first week of every month. Here we discuss the global macro-economic themes that may impact your portfolio and the strategies in place to grow and protect your wealth.
