THE BEST INVESTING APPROACH JUST TURNED 50 Many investors today believe that traditional index investing—buying and holding a broad basket of stocks and/or bonds to capture the general returns of the market
More than 40% of the general population put their retirement planning on hold during the pandemic, and that number was even higher, at 55%, among young investors ages 18-35. In fact, nearly half of respondents from that next generation said they do not even see a point in saving for their later years until things return to “normal.
Most people don’t know the best way to invest their money, so they can retire comfortably, avoid running out of money in retirement, and leave an inheritance to their heirs and/or
charities.
And even those who do have an idea of how to invest sensibly have a tough time sticking to their investment approach when it doesn’t seem to be working or when markets are in
turmoil.
This is why seeking the help of a trusted financial advisor like Servo can be one of your best
investments.
Servo founder Eric Nelson, who holds the prestigious Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)
designation, has over two decades of experience helping individuals and families to plan and
invest for their most important financial goals, saving them the time they’d typically have to
spend researching, studying, and staying on top of their finances.
Could Servo’s knowledge, experience, and expertise help you?
What We Do
We help individuals and families invest their hard-earned savings to maximize the chances that they can achieve their growth, spending, and inheritance goals.
We save our clients the significant amount of time that most people spend learning, researching, analyzing, and tracking their investments and investment results, freeing them up
to focus on more rewarding and enjoyable aspects of life.
We help our clients to be more confident about their financial and investment decisions and develop greater peace of mind that they are on the right track to success.
How We Do It
Every relationship we have started with a plan for how to get you from where you are to where you want to be-whether that’s simply growing your savings for an undetermined future need or achieving a specific goal like retirement, ongoing income to live on, or a legacy to your beneficiaries.
From that plan, we design an investment portfolio that has historically earned the rate of return you will need to achieve your goals. We review that portfolio’s historical range of returns with you—especially the downturns—preparing you for the inevitable investment uncertainties we will face.
And we review your investment progress with you regularly to ensure you are well-informed,
confident, and disciplined.
How We Invest
Instead of using outdated “actively-managed” funds or settling for simple index funds, we utilize an approach called Asset Class Investing. This modern, evidence-based approach to investing is rooted in decades of rigorous academic research and Nobel Prize-winning economic theories.
Asset Class Investing begins with broad diversification and low costs like traditional indexing but also seeks to achieve higher long-term returns using mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that target areas of the market (“asset classes”) with higher-expected returns— stocks in general, and small cap, value, and higher profitability companies within the stock market. Servo is an expert in tailoring Asset Class Investing to each client’s goals and tax situation.
