Passive investing is often associated with a buy and hold mentality, and can be a low cost way of investing for the long term. A problem with passive investing is it can lull investors into complacency and can give investors the false sense of security that their assets are safer because of the broad index exposure affiliated with passive investing. At YAMS, LLC we watch investments like a hawk and provide active management strategies for our clients, emphasizing risk management and downside protection. Contact us to learn more!
There's no way around it. Risks are inherent when it comes to investing. But how you manage risks often determines if you are successful as an investor. Diversification is not the only form of risk management. Yet, so many investors think that just because they have a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds and alternative investments they are safe. At YAMS, LLC we apply the old sports analogy to our investment process, "DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS!" By protecting assets on the downside, investors can participate in the upside. Even extreme risk takers can benefit from our focused, disciplined approach. Contact us today and learn how we are different.
At YAMS, LLC we invest across multiple types of securities; however, we primarily invest our clients' assets in individual, domestic stocks with a bias towards growth and momentum. We like investing in assets that are liquid and can quickly be converted into cash.
Again, diversification is not the only form of risk management. Too much diversification can dilute investment performance. Too little, can result in significant losses. At YAMS, LLC we primarily invest client assets in a small basket of 8-15 individual stocks, cash, and exchange traded funds in which we have high conviction and think will perform well over time.
Being able to sell out of investments quickly is a staple among our principles of investing at YAMS, LLC. By holding liquid investments, those that can be turned quickly into cash, we can manage risk efficiently and work to avoid the tragic pitfall of holding a losing investment longer than the investor's temperament may withstand. Holding liquid investments also allows us to take advantage of new opportunities that endlessly present themselves in the marketplace.
Though this statement has become cliche, it is extremely important when investing in securities. Most investors should not expect to double their portfolio overnight - or even within a year for that matter. Successful investing takes time. It should be a repeatable, yet adaptable process and considered with a long-term perspective. Sure there are instruments an investor can trade to generate high returns very quickly; however, investors should always consider the risks associated with short term, highly volatile trades. At YAMS, LLC we will work with you to find the right balance of investing and trading that fits your personality profile.
