Professional Investment Management

Today's investors are well aware of the potential rewards of equity investing. But most people lack the time and expertise needed to make sound day-to-day investment decisions.

Choosing the right investment for your goals can be difficult, as there are literally thousands of options available. The task of selection is compounded by the fact that investments are influenced by continually changing global market conditions.

Market volatility is a recurring phenomenon that can often be minimized with a well-diversified portfolio. However, monitoring market events and their effects on your investments can be a full-time occupation. It’s no wonder many investors turn to professional investment management services for assistance in creating and maintaining their investment portfolios.

Through my affiliation with Legend Advisory Corporation, my clients have access to a high quality asset allocation program known as Strategic Asset Management^® (SAM^®). This service was designed to make professional asset allocation techniques, investment selection and ongoing investment management available to individual investors. SAM^® features five actively managed mutual fund portfolios with objectives that range from conservative to aggressive. In line with each model’s objective, the portfolios seek to hold an optimal mix of mutual funds with the potential to maximize returns while minimizing risk.

Dynamic Money Management
The portfolios are monitored regularly and rebalanced when appropriate in order to capitalize on market opportunities and attempt to minimize the effects of market downturns. Legend Advisory Corporation’s investment advisory team employs cutting-edge artificial intelligence technology in the ongoing management of the SAM^® portfolios. This technology is used to:

Built-in Diversification
Our strategic partnerships with many prominent mutual fund companies provide SAM^® clients with access to the expertise of world class money managers. The SAM^® accounts hold a variety of mutual funds that have been hand-picked for inclusion by Legend Advisory Corporation’s advisory team.

The SAM^® portfolios offer three levels of diversification:
•by Asset Class — equities, fixed income and cash
•by Investment Type — i.e. large cap, small cap, value and growth
•by Fund Management Style — securities selection by individual       mutual fund managers

Such diversification enables the SAM^® portfolios to be strategically positioned to minimize the effects of market volatility on your assets, based on your investment objectives.

Artificial Intelligence: Advancing Investment Management to a New Level
Determining the proper allocation mix for each SAM^® portfolio is accomplished through the use of Legend Advisory Corporation's Asset Allocation Neural Network (AANN). AANN is a sophisticated computer modeling system that employs artificial intelligence to accurately estimate the relative strength of individual asset classes representing the major domestic and international debt and equity sectors. AANN is driven by a neural network—a complex computerized "brain" that utilizes mathematical algorithms to simulate human learning behavior.

AANN retrieves, processes and stores vast amounts of market and economic data, both current and historical, from a myriad of sources. Through constant testing and revision, AANN can draw conclusions from the data to identify market trends and opportunities.

Legend Advisory Corporation's experienced team of investment management professionals then conducts a thorough analysis of the information derived from AANN and develops asset allocation recommendations that reflect the objectives and risk tolerances associated with each SAM^® portfolio.

Personal Service, Expert Advice
Opening a SAM^® account is simple. The process begins with a personal consultation to establish a complete understanding of your financial objectives, expectations and risk tolerances. Based on a thorough analysis of your investor profile, I will help you choose the SAM^® portfolio that best suits your goals. Once your account is funded, you will receive quarterly statements detailing the performance of your investments. The statement will include a summary of portfolio activity as well as a breakdown of your investments by asset class. As you progress toward your investment goals, I am always available to discuss your portfolio or answer any questions you may have.
