Monitoring Your Evolving Investment Plan
The centerpiece of your long-term investment strategy is an Investment Policy Statement (IPS). This written document is a formal reflection of how your individual circumstances, plus our advice and solutions, come together to create your portfolio and track progress toward your long-term, goals-based investment strategy.
Periodically revisited to keep it current, your IPS continues to reflect changes in your goals and overall situation. It is designed to:
- Frame your needs, priorities, and investment objectives
- Assess how much risk you feel comfortable taking
- Identify areas of special consideration, such as building income for retirement
- Encourage regular communication and a mutual understanding of your goals and the plan to achieve them
- Discourage emotional reactions to market events and promote investment discipline so you can keep your portfolio strategy on track during market ups and downs
- Foster adherence to fiduciary standards
- Establish a reference point to monitor strategy and evaluate results
