As a member of our Investment Committee, Alex Duty CFA has been fundamental to our work as a team. The Small and Value Expected Returns video is definitely worth a look to “dig deeper” into understanding the valuation charts near the end of this video. Recently Alex also discussed our decision process in another video entitled “Asset Allocation: Valuation Decisions” His whitepaper “The Magic of Diversification”  will be helpful as well. Be on the lookout for more of Alex’s work going forward. His analytical approach is outstanding and helps intelligent portfolio construction greatly.

The world around us continues to change and the opportunities for asset allocation are changing as well. As our clients know we have adapted and continue to meet the asset allocation needs of our clients.  In this month’s newsletter, there will be a number of articles on the non-traditional, sometimes known as, alternative investing process. They include:

Another great article with some outstanding insights was posted by Laura Nicolay entitled “Index Funds: One Chapter in the Investing Book” Well worth a read! White Oaks will continue to be very transparent to our clients in the asset allocation decision-making process. We welcome your feedback and ideas!
