CAIM's clients are private investors from many walks of life, including working professionals, retirees, business entrepreneurs, divorcees, and widows/widowers. Despite their diverse backgrounds, the one thing they are all seeking is a trusted investment advisor who can help them "make sense" of their investments.
- For some clients, "making sense" means helping them rationalize their existing investment portfolios into something more manageable and meaningful. Too often clients engage in "dysfunctional diversification" spreading their wealth across a variety of portfolios with different investment advisors, in the belief that all diversification is good. Often, however, the benefits from this diversification can be limited because different advisors may invest in the same stocks/securities or have similar concentrations in particular markets. Sometimes "less is more" when it comes to achieving effective diversification.
- For other clients, "making sense" means helping them actively re-engage with their investment strategies. A poor relationship with an existing advisor can often cause a client to disengage, to avoid communication regarding their investments, resulting in less-than-optimal management of their portfolio. We want our clients to be engaged
to talk with us
to work with us
to trust us.
- There are also clients who come to us because they don't have an advisor, but have come to the conclusion that they need professional advice. They reach that conclusion for a variety of reasons: sometimes their wealth has grown to a point where they are no longer sure how they should invest it
their financial affairs have become more complicated
they face a challenging life situation
or they simply don't have the time to manage their portfolio effectively.
Regardless of the challenge you face, when you come to CAIM you will not only find a knowledgeable, experienced investment professional, but someone who is accessible, empathizes with your needs, and communicates with you clearly and simply.
