Investment Process

"I build PROFESSIONAL INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS based on facts, not emotions or hype, with an intense focus on risk management." - Jeff Sandene, CFP®

EVIDENCE-BASED INVESTING incorporates…

  • Economic Research
  • Actual Market Data
  • Index Investing 

Evidence-Based Investing takes into consideration all economic and investment research of the last 90 years, including modern portfolio theory, the efficient market hypothesis, the magic of compounded investment returns over long periods of time, and the difficulty active investment managers have in consistently beating their respective indexes.  

BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS avoids…

  • Cognitive Biases
  • Emotional Mistakes
  • Irrational Investing

Behavioral Economics is the study of how people’s money and investment decisions are impacted by scores of emotional and cognitive decision-making biases and heuristics, including loss aversion, bandwagon effect, and confirmation bias.  Behavioral economics identifies the sources of people’s money mistakes and decision-making shortcuts, thereby casting a shadow upon the ‘rational investor’ and ‘efficient market’ assumptions underlying much of traditional economics and shining a new light on decades of economic and investment research.

RISK MANAGEMENT recognizes…

  • Price Volatility
  • Market Signals
  • Recession Impacts

Risk Management techniques are employed, when appropriate, to counter the long-term cycles of financial markets.  Market cyclicality can be characterized as either ‘volatility to ignore’ or ‘volatility to respect’.  Volatility to ignore is important to recognize because it can lead to serious investor mistakes. Temporary losses often exceed 10%, and the rebounds from these periodic corrections can be swift, making it perilous to attempt market-timing strategies.  Volatility to respect is usually associated with a recession. There have been fourteen U.S. recessions in the past 90 years1.  The average stock market decline associated with those recessions is over 40%2.  Stock market losses during recessions have plenty of corroborating market and economic evidence.  Paying attention to market and economic signals and executing a ‘rules-based’ investment management process, may result in avoiding the worst segments of recessionary bear markets.

All investing involves risk, including loss of principal. No strategy assures success or protects against loss.
