Dan Richards, Strategic ImperativesIn light of the events of the last nine months, investors and advi­sors alike are reex­am­in­ing the process used to build portfolios.

A May 25 in the Globe and Mail high­lighted two tools to over­come investors’ (and some advisors’) emotional reac­tions to mar­ket move­ments, cre­at­ing the impulse to buy and sell at exactly the wrong times. The arti­cle quoted  the words of Walt Kelly’s 1950’s car­toon char­ac­ter Pogo:  “We have met the enemy and he is us.”

–Adver­tise­ment–

The solu­tion for advi­sors lies in bring­ing much more dis­ci­pline to how client port­fo­lios are man­aged, using two tools from insti­tu­tional investors. The goal is to bor­row War­ren Buffett’s dis­pas­sion­ate approach to invest­ing, which he sum­ma­rizes as: “Be fear­ful when oth­ers are greedy and be greedy when oth­ers are fearful.”
