Investment Philosophy
Passive Core
Gold Investment Management employs a Passive Core approach, utilizing low cost exchange traded funds (ETFs) to implement the strategy. With attention to tax efficiency and low trading costs, Gold Investment Management constructs portfolios with multiple asset classes and broad geographic diversification in order to capture a wide range of global capital markets activity.
Value & Income Tilt
Finding value is one of the cornerstones of Gold Investment Management’s approach to investing. Value strategies have been shown historically to give greater upside as compensation for bearing risk. We compliment the value approach by seeking securities that provide relatively high income in today’s low yielding market environment.
Active Overlay
The Active Overlay complements both the Passive Core and Value Tilt strategies by seeking to add alpha during both falling and rising markets. Due to Gold Investment Management’s independence and size, we have the ability to respond to market changes and rapidly alter course. We are constantly seeking opportunities to add value during rising and falling markets.
Risk Tolerance
Gold Investment Management builds investment portfolios that suit an Investor’s individual risk tolerance.
Asset Mix Monitoring
& Dynamic Rebalancing
Gold Investment Management’s team of portfolio managers continuously monitors and dynamically rebalances portfolios to ensure that they are in line with their original weighting and strategic asset mix. For example, during dramatic market downturns we may take advantage of the extreme market pessimism by buying relatively cheap equity ETFs and selling relatively expensive fixed income ETFs. Conversely, during euphoric upturns we may take advantage of the irrational exuberance by selling relatively expensive equity ETFs and buying relatively cheap fixed income ETFs.
