Welcome to Strategic Investment Management
Our goal at Strategic Investment Management is to help you more fully enjoy your life through personalized, thoughtful and prudent financial strategies. That’s why Strategic Investment Management works closely with clients to build long-lasting partnerships that allow us to create customized investment programs to help transition through all stages of life.
Focused on You. Focused on Success.
We operate with the understanding that the needs of our clients are the very reason for our existence. We believe that a disciplined investment philosophy, education, and a fee-only structure best serve each client's need.
We specialize in addressing the particular needs of clients who value individual attention and personal service within a long-term, trusting relationship. We expect to get to know our clients on a personal level, and to provide solid, long-range financial advice offered in the context of real life.
Asset management is personal and individual. We believe in the value of relationships. We view every client relationship like a partnership, and truly believe that our success is a result of your success. That's why Strategic Investment Management works closely with clients to build long-lasting partnerships that allow us to create customized investment programs for a lifetime.
Client Focus
Strategic Investment Management helps clients define their investment objectives and then design a customized portfolio strategy to achieve them. Our fiduciary approach to advising our clients ensures we are independent and objective in the advice we give.
Strategic Investment Management provides specialized asset management services for clients with portfolios of $50,000 or more, utilizing a vast universe of no-load/low transaction fee investment vehicles. We combine rigorous on-going research and analysis with an in-depth understanding of both our clients' individual needs, and the behavior of the world’s financial markets.
Our approach is holistic; we focus on asset management and education, as well as the lifespan relationship we build with our clients. This approach is very unique in a financial industry that is often segmented and outsourced. We want to help you with these issues. But most of all, we want to help you manage your money so you can manage your life.
Service
Many times our clients' planning efforts can benefit from the expertise of highly specialized professionals including Financial Planners, Estate Planners and Tax Attorneys, CPAs, and Pension Plan Administrators. Recognizing this, we have established relationships with many top professionals in these fields, and coordinate efforts with them on behalf of our clients (and never accept referral fees for doing so). That means when you work with us, you're working with a network of services - all available through one central source.
Our Goal:
Customer service with integrity
Safety and protection of the client's capital
Preservation of the client's purchasing power
Superior long-term rate of return
Provision of regular income if the client desires
Investments
Strategic Investment Management has teamed with Richard P. Slaughter Associates, Inc. to form an investment committee that uses time-tested systems of analysis and decades of experience in the markets. Along with Slaughter Associates, we will implement an active management style to select what we believe is the best and most appropriate investments for you.
Throughout the process, we are committed to the safety and protection of your capital. We seek to structure your investments to provide superior overall return potential within your tolerance to market risks and fluctuations. Our ultimate goal is an asset blend that will meet your financial needs, for the short-term and long-term.Who We Are
