Client accounts are advised on a "non-discretionary" basis such that the client is the final decision maker on all buy sell and hold decisions within their individual accounts. All client accounts are advised on a personal and consultative basis.
Advised IRA accounts using ETF securities and Portfolio Rebalancing
The following are a series of hypothetical portfolios structured using ETF securities. (See various hypothetical portfolios listed below.) Any one of these portfolios may be suitable for your IRA account depending upon your personal circumstances and risk tolerance. If requested by you the client, "Portfolio Rebalancing" can be periodically done to maintain the asset allocation percentages in your portfolio. If you choose to participate in "Portfolio Rebalancing" your portfolio will be monitored by a computer such that at any time "a suggestion" can be made as to buys and sells necessary to bring your allocations back to your pre-arranged percentages. (No "Portfolio Rebalancing" trades will ever be done without your involvement and consent.) No money management technique is perfect, but "Portfolio Rebalancing" can be an effective way of "selling shares when a sector is up" and "buying shares when a sector is down" thus bringing your sector allocations back to your originally pre-selected percentage levels. ETF securities, or Exchange Traded Funds, typically have significantly lower internal fees than comparable traditional mutual funds. Further, maintaining your IRA account with a "deep discount" brokerage firm ("custodian brokerage") can afford you dramatically lower commission charges when compared to full service stockbrokerage accounts. Pacific Investment Advisors LLC charges 1% per year investment advisory fee for advising you on your IRA account and assisting you in asset allocation and periodic (if you choose to) "Portfolio Rebalancing".
All of our accounts are "money manager" advised and assisted. Please feel free to call to discuss your personal IRA account.
