Our Investment
Management
Philosophy

At Steel Tower, our investment philosophy centers on three core beliefs:

Markets are unpredictable.

History has shown it’s impossible to predict future prices on a systemic and long-term basis.

Portfolio structure explains performance.

The asset classes chosen for inclusion in a portfolio are responsible for most of the variability of portfolio returns.

Risk and return are related.

The compensation for taking on increased levels of risk is the potential to earn greater returns.

As a result, we practice three fundamental principles when managing wealth.

Diversify across many asset classes.

The primary way we manage the risk of our clients’ portfolios is global diversification.

Maintain discipline.

We believe in establishing and adhering to a long-term, strategic allocation through full market cycles.

Utilize both passive and active management.

We take a thoughtful approach to leveraging the advantages of both passive and active strategies.
