What Is Smart Diversification®?

Smart Diversification uses math to make investment decisions.

Smart Diversification reduces potentially unproductive assets through a repeatable, mathematical, evidence-based process.

Consider:

  • Risk is dynamic and changes frequently.
  • Static allocations can never adequately manage dynamic risk.
  • Equity markets typically spend 80% of their time declining and getting back to even.
  • Equity markets typically spend only 20% of their time making “New Money” for clients.

The idea is simple: use a repeatable process to help clients participate in the ups, minimize downs and create a better client experience.
