Who should consider Private Investment Management?
Private Investment Management makes the most sense for individuals and families who have complex financial needs. They may have multiple accounts for a combination of taxable and tax-deferred purposes, or may have a significant capital gains exposure associated with a concentrated equity position. Sometimes a client does not want the day-to-day responsibility for managing a large portfolio personally. Other clients may not be knowledgeable about the financial markets, and some may just want to simplify their lives and do other things with their time.


How does Private Investment Management work with your Financial Consultant?
Private Investment Management is offered in conjunction with a Financial Consultants who helps clients determine when Private Investment Management is appropriate, and if so, what needs to be done to get started.  Typically, they work with clients to review investment goals and objectives, and then represent those clients interests to Parker/Hunter Asset Management.  Financial Consultants also help existing clients evaluate investment progress, and provide counsel when adjustments are being considered.


What is our Investment Philosophy?
Parker/Hunter Asset Management employs a conservative approach to investment management. We seek competitive investment returns while minimizing risk. We recognize the asset allocation strategy determines the fundamental trade-off between risk and reward for each investment account. We believe diversification by economic sector, size, geography and style improves opportunities and reduces risk. We believe our disciplined quantitative and qualitative selection process for individual equity and fixed income securities adds value. We believe an Investment Policy Statement is a critical statement of strategy for each client.

How are client investments managed?
Investment accounts managed by Parker/Hunter Asset Management typically consist of individually owned equity or fixed income securities. Individual investment managers use sophisticated analytical tools to evaluate security selections, and equally sophisticated trading tools to monitor and manage each account. At the end of every calendar quarter, clients are provided with a comprehensive portfolio appraisal that clearly describes what they own, what was accomplished in their portfolio, and what the investment performance has been over time.
