Custom Portfolios

Tailored to your goals, risk tolerance, and tax profile - no cookie-cutter models. We consider your full household picture before making allocation and asset-location decisions.

Research-Driven Investing

Bottom-up fundamental research and valuation discipline inform each decision.

Proactive Oversight

We review portfolios on a regular cadence and rebalance with discipline. Changes are tax-aware and implemented when appropriate - not reactively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about our approach, accounts, and process.

Who is this right for?
about-two-arrow

Investors who prefer a disciplined, research-first approach with direct ownership of individual securities - and who understand this may differ from broad indexing.

What account types can you manage?
about-two-arrow

Taxable brokerage accounts, IRAs and Roth IRAs, SEP/SIMPLE IRAs, inherited IRAs, trusts, and joint/individual accounts. We coordinate across accounts to keep allocation and taxes aligned.

What tools do you use?
about-two-arrow

A disciplined research process grounded in fundamental analysis and valuation. For custody and access, we use the Schwab Advisor Portal so you have a secure, 24/7 view of your accounts. (Schwab and RWFS are unaffiliated; Schwab is a registered broker-dealer and member SIPC.)

How often do you review portfolios?
about-two-arrow

Portfolios are monitored continuously with formal reviews at least annually. We make changes when valuation, fundamentals, or risk/reward dynamics shift - not on a calendar alone.
