Tim Ray

Investment philosophy

Tim uses a value-oriented investment approach, with emphasis on good value investment associated with low risk. His conservative clientele is made up of people with investments ranging from fixed income securities (government bonds, Treasury bills & corporate paper, high quality corporate bonds, foreign currency bonds, etc.) to equities (common stocks, preferred stocks, foreign stocks & mutual funds).

Tim's investment philosophy incorporates four basic principles:

1) Preservation of capital comes first.

2) A financial plan is essential. We are all living longer than previous generations.

3) Expectations should counterbalance risk/reward and must be in line with each investor's financial goals.

4) Professional money management is key. Proper administration of any investment requires daily scrutiny.

This disciplined investment approach and philosophy is a highly effective strategy in building and preserving wealth. Clients can achieve their financial goals while maintaining peace of mind.
