GROWTH-FOCUSED INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
Guidance for sustainable growth.
AWP builds custom, diversified portfolios to help our clients who are focused on growth maximize investment performance while managing risk of loss and excess volatility.
"How much growth is too much growth?"
Striving for growth is important, but navigating the fine line between maximizing returns and managing risk can be complex. Without proper guidance, too much growth can expose your portfolio to unnecessary volatility and greater potential losses. That’s why having someone who specializes in designing and managing growth strategies that balance your long-term goals is essential for sustainable success.
AWP’s Growth-Focused Investment Portfolios are expertly designed to:
Based on your risk tolerance and financial goals, AWP will design a portfolio that balances Growth-Oriented Investments with conservative, Income-Focused Assets.
WHAT GUIDES US
Our Core Philosophy
Value-Driven Investment Decisions
May provide for a margin of safety that results in a lower probability of losing permanent capital, which may ultimately lead to long term wealth accumulation. The goal is to create an asset mix that seeks to provide the optimal balance between expected risk and return for a long-term investment horizon.
Strategic Asset Allocation
A well-diversified portfolio centered around your long-term goals. Just because an investment is available (like gold), doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for you. For example, corporate bonds may behave like stocks during major market downturns, which doesn’t provide adequate diversification for a retiree. We focus on investing in asset classes that:
With a Tactical Tilt
Reducing overpriced assets and purchasing underpriced assets will naturally create a “buy low, sell high” framework to protect capital in down markets and reduce volatility.
Identifying Top Performers
Allocating meaningful capital to highly qualified managers and ideas is better than over diversifying a portfolio. We seek out investment managers and funds that are in the top quartile relative to their peers.
Diversifying Strategies
It’s unlikely that a single investment firm can internally employ the “best” talent to trade all types of securities and strategies; therefore, we seek out highly qualified independent third‐party managers within each asset class to manage our clients’ capital, where appropriate.
Sell Only When Necessary
As Warren Buffett famously said, his favorite holding period is “forever” — and we share that philosophy. While holding an investment indefinitely may not be practical for most retirement investors, we design portfolios with low turnover. Each time an investment is bought or sold, costs are incurred, including not only visible costs like transaction fees and taxes but also hidden costs such as bid-ask spreads. These expenses can erode your returns. To maximize your investment returns and minimize taxes, we intentionally select investments with low turnover.
Reducing Costs
We use low-cost or no-cost investment options to lower the “hurdle” to achieving gains, reducing the need to take on unnecessary risks to meet your performance goals. Research from Morningstar indicates that the cost of your investments is one of the strongest predictors of future returns. Simply put, low-cost investments have historically outperformed those with higher fees.
Volatility Management
Financial losses come from selling investments when the market is down. People do this because they either a) take on too much risk or volatility exposure to begin with or b) need the cash when the market is down. We make sure our growth investors have an adequate reserve of cash to exploit market opportunities when they become available, rather than becoming a victim to them.
