Keystone Client Portfolios Don’t
Always Look Like Everyone Else’s
It’s a marathon, not a sprint.
Markets will go up and down. Our job is to eliminate the near-term
“noise” and focus on long-term repeatable results.
Our portfolios are globally diversified, have healthy allocations to alternative investments, and minimize investment fees when possible. Our approach puts every aspect of your financial life at the forefront of your portfolio—your risk tolerance, liquidity needs, tax opportunities, and long-term goals.
With those objectives, we leverage decades of academic research to optimize returns and control risk within the portfolio.

Average Investor
Average Investor
Studies show average investor returns significantly trail market indexes for a variety of reasons. The average investor in equity mutual funds underperformed the S&P 500 by 5.9% annualized over the last 30 years. Cumulatively, this is a lot of lost returns. This data comes from the 2019 Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior report by DALBAR, the leading independent, unbiased investment performance rating firm, and it covers the 20-year period ending December 31, 2018.
