Gideon Strategic Partners

Overview: Gideon Strategic Partners, like most successful investment advisory firms, follows a core satellite investment philosophy.

These fundamental principles guide the investment decisions we help our clients make:

Investments are used to achieve long-term goals, while savings are used for short-term goals
Asset allocation with diversification among stock, bond and other markets reduces risk
Investors should know and understand how investments fit into their portfolios and why they own particular assets
Minimizing investment costs is crucial for long-term success
An investor’s primary decisions involve choosing a mix of assets to be held in a portfolio, not the selection of individual investments
Risk is multi-dimensional; investors should weigh “shortfall risk”—the possibility that a portfolio may not meet long-term financial goals—against “market risk,”—the reality that returns may fluctuate
Market-timing and performance-chasing are not part of a winning strategy
Future long-term returns are expected to be very similar to historical returns for various asset classes and subclasses

Responsibilities:

Run hypothetical portfolios for high net worth clients
Run asset allocation analysis for current client accounts
Develop spreadsheets to monitor and track client performance
Analyze investment options and alternative investments for current prospective clients
Build decks for new and existing clients
Use our CRMs to file and track client/ prospect communication (Wealthbox, Pipedrive)
Administrative duties
