Aligning Your Passions, Your Values, Your Long-Term Goals

Every Client Has Different Values, Attitudes, and Approaches to Investing. We’re Here to Honor and Optimize to Meet and Exceed Your Expectations.

When it comes to our investing solutions at Del Monte Group, we don’t make a slew of day trades to gain a quick buck. Preserving the wealth you’ve already accumulated is a high priority for us. We don’t believe in taking risks you won’t be compensated for. Instead, we take your unique situation and goals into account and use this insight in tandem with proven strategies to maximize return while minimizing risk.

Our Evidence-Based Investing Approach

Investment performance isn’t the primary determiner of wealth—investment decisions are. When investors allow their emotions to dictate their reactions to market fluctuations, they make poor investment decisions. We take the emotion out of investing for you with The Performance Advantage™. This proprietary portfolio management service affords the opportunity to make the right decisions at the right time, and the advice we give is always backed by evidence and proven strategies.

You see, rather than fretting over things we can’t control, like how the markets are going to behave over the next six-month period, we focus on things we can control:

  • Minimizing investment costs
  • Maximizing asset diversification and positioning
  • Portfolio tax efficiency
  • Opportunistic rebalancing
  • Making solid decisions
