Our Philosophy

Aspen Capital Management's recommendations are based on the outcome of the financial plan, our discussions and risk analysis work you will have completed. 

Your Investment Policy Statement includes:
  • Our philosophy and approach to managing clients assets
  • Analysis of and recommendation concerning existing investments
  • Recommended portfolio asset allocation
  • Portfolio rebalancing metrics

While each client's Investment Policy Statement is customized, five themes are important in the construction of each portfolio:
  1. Diversification      
    • Capture the compensated risk dimensions of the markets in the most reliable fashion
  2. Tilt the portfolio allocation to areas that increase expected returns
  3. Minimize costs
  4. Minimize taxes and turnover
    • Asset allocation vs asset location     
    • Use tax managed funds in taxable accounts
  5. Maintain asset allocation
