How We Approach Investment Strategy in Turbulent Markets
Our process starts with our core investment beliefs. Our most timely belief is this:
The right way to invest is to diversify by strategy.
Each of our investment partners has a unique philosophy. We never want to make a killing in, nor be killed by, any one investment. We diversify our investments accordingly. Today is different in that our key research partners are in agreement. They are concerned about the short-term. Over the long-term, we are all confident, with varying levels of optimism. As an aside, I am the most optimistic investment manager I know. Again, our investments benefit from diversification!
Today, the headlines are dominated by high inflation. In response, the Federal Reserve and other central banks have increased interest rates. Thus, iMGP sees better opportunities in bonds than we have had for many years.
We took modest action in our client’s bond portfolios. We focused in on the bond managers we think can handle the next few years nimbly and profitably. Furthermore, we made a change in the way we invest in international equities. We are investing with a company we believe gives us a chance at potentially increased returns over the long haul. In years past, after equity declines, you may recall that we took advantage of lower prices to buy more equities. Over the long haul, being confident during the declines increases the chances of above-average returns. We may find this opportunity in the near future, but not yet.
