Our Process

We put our investment philosophy into practice through a rules-based, disciplined risk-management process that includes active management, sector rotation, and a flexible investment mix that cannot be captured in a traditional “pie chart.”

Our investment process seeks to preserve and accumulate capital, and strives to protect the portfolio from the effects of short-term risks and volatility, regardless of the age or investment time-horizon of the investor.

We Focus on the Now to Preserve Assets for Your Future

We’re watching the market all day, every day. It’s our passion. And we focus on what the market is telling us now, not on predicting the future or relying on long-term historical trends or models that may or may not prove relevant in today’s changing environment. We take a variety of factors into consideration when evaluating current market risks, including:
  • Real-time evaluation of macro-trends affecting different sectors of the economy, individual assets classes, and regional and global exposures.

  • Technical market indicators, such as relative strength, momentum, and statistical trading bands to gauge risks and opportunities.

  • Observation of the interplay between the supply and demand dynamics in financial markets and their effect on price trends.

Disciplined Decision-Making Through the New Harbor Team

We know it’s easy to get caught up in the emotional ups-and-downs of market fluctuations. That’s why we use a rules-based, team process to evaluate current conditions and make rational, disciplined allocation changes to client portfolios.

Our decision to reallocate assets is always driven by a desire to:

  • Reduce overall investment risk

  • Preserve assets

  • Expose clients’ assets to the strongest areas of the market

  • Enhance growth

Portfolio Construction: Reducing Risk

We manage risk inherent in a portfolio by using a mix of traditional assets, like stocks and bonds, and alternative investments such precious metals, commodities, foreign currencies and real estate. Since many alternative investments do not react to market conditions in the same way traditional assets do, they can be a powerful tool to diversify the risk in your portfolio. However, not every asset is right at all times. Timing is critical, and of course, diversification does not guarantee against market loss.

We prefer to use simple, highly transparent investments that can be liquidated at any time without restriction. Clients hire us not because of the investments that we use, but rather our skill and discipline in using them.
