At Pinnacle Asset Management, our mission is to grow
and protect our clients’ assets.
We practice an active style of asset management consisting
of fundamental analysis for security selection and technical analysis to
identify and adjust to ever changing financial market conditions. This
combination of disciplines provides our clients with the confidence
that they own quality investments and the comfort of knowing that
there is a proactive strategy in place to minimize risk.
Our investment portfolios are comprised of individual stocks,
bonds, exchange traded funds (“ETFs”), and mutual funds. Each
client’s asset allocation is constructed with a specific investment
objective in mind, ranging from capital preservation to aggressive
growth. An individual’s personal circumstances, risk tolerance, and
objectives are taken into consideration to determine the most suitable
portfolio for his or her financial goals.

- ECONOMIES HAVE A CYCLIC NATURE-
Throughout history, economies and business activity have
moved in cycles. The business cycle consists of four distinct stages:
expansion, peak, contraction, and trough. Within each of these stages,
certain economic conditions tend to arise that influence investment
options differently. At Pinnacle, we attempt to leverage these trends
for your financial growth and security.
- HUMAN NATURE SOMETIMES GETS THE BEST OF US-
Emotions can cause an investor to behave illogically and
inaccurately gauge risk. Often times the jubilant emotion that
accompanies the realization of an investment profit leads investors
to the false impression that there is a lower risk than actually exists.
Overconfidence leads to investment mistakes, including a total
disregard of the relationship between risk and reward and over-
concentrated positions within the portfolio. Risk aversion can also
lead to unsatisfactory outcomes. To prevent loss, an investor may
undertake too little risk and fail to meet their investment goals. At
Pinnacle, we practice a systematic approach of asset management
which mitigates emotional investing.

- INVESTING AND THE ISSUE OF RISK -
A good investment strategy should incorporate risks that
have historically provided positive results while reducing or eliminating
risks that are less likely to provide rewards. Loss of principal is a
significant risk in investing and is the sole focus of many individuals.
However, those who delegate too much of their money to safe and
predictable investment options often face running out of money or
not being able to support their lifestyle due to the long term impact
of inflation. Our investment strategies encompass a combination of
capital preservation and an appropriate level of risk assets to help our
clients keep pace with inflation.
- WHAT IS YOUR RISK NUMBER -
At Pinnacle, we use a program called Riskalyze to obtain an
“objective”, quantifiable measurement of a client’s risk tolerance. In
addition, the software computes corresponding risk measurement
scores for each of our investment portfolios. Marrying the two
concepts together provides our clients with the peace of mind in
knowing that the investments we propose will not subject them to
unwanted levels of risk.

- DECLINES IN THE MARKET: A DANGEROUS TIME FOR INVESTORS-
Over the past decade, investor confidence has been shaken
by large swings in the financial markets and investment loss.
Empirical evidence suggests that avoiding a large or “bear market”
loss is one of many critical factors in successful retirement income
planning. At Pinnacle, we have invested a considerable amount of
time and resources into developing an investment strategy that, at
its core, is rooted in a principle of capital preservation. We monitor
and evaluate a whole host of financial market information including
the price, volume, and momentum data of each individual stock, ETF,
and mutual fund holding in our investment models. The goal of this
process is to minimize investment loss via systematic reduction of
risk exposure during times of market decline, then reinvesting capital
when market characteristics turn more favorable. Having a plan in
place to minimize the impact of market declines can prove crucial to
attaining one’s long term financial goals.
