INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY
For over 25 years, Matthew has been a practitioner of the “NASDAQ DORSEY WRIGHT RELATIVE STRENGTH AND RISK MANAGEMENT METHODOLOGY”.
Best described as a "TOP DOWN" approach, the methodology determines the overall risk level in the six major asset classes: Domestic Equities, International Equities, Fixed Income, Commodities, Currencies, and Cash.
Based on the relative strength of each of these asset classes and the risk profile of each individual client, Matthew is able to formulate an appropriate Asset Allocation Strategy for each client. s). It is not unusual for a particular asset class to have zero or a minimal allocation. Equity allocations also vary widely as Risk Management is paramount. For example, an account may have as much as a 70-80% allocation to Equities at times and as little as 10-20% at other times. As risk levels and market conditions change, so too will allocations. Where appropriate, Matthew will utilize Options and Inverse (short) positions to help manage portfolio risk. The same methodology is also used within the different classes of Fixed Income (Government Bonds, Municipal Bonds, Corporate, Bonds, High Yield Bonds, etc.).
