We all recognize that markets will be either up, down or sideways in the years to come - the question is, "Which of the three will our clients experience?" Our strategy is to be positioned in the wisest way to protect principal in a downturn while maintaining the potential for strong relative returns when the markets are positive. This is only achieved through diversification - not Wall Street's definition of diversification which is stocks and bonds but rather Full-Spectrum Diversification which includes investments in energy, commodities, foreign currencies, international stocks, precious metals, treasuries, real estate as well as stocks and bonds.
If the economy is good, we'll all rejoice when returns are positive. When the economy suffers, being diversified will prove to be more important than any of us could realize. This is what we consider to be the Wise approach to investing - we will continue to weigh history and consequences - that forms the foundation of our approach.
Full Spectrum Diversification - Vista's unique approach to investment strategy - offers broader investment allocation than the typical "diversified" models offered by many banks, advisors and brokers and is designed to respond effectively regardless of the direction of the market. The chart below depicts how Full Spectrum Diversification is designed to perform in different market directions.
Clients have the broadest diversification through investments in stocks, bonds, foreign currencies, foreign stocks, foreign bonds, energy, commodities, precious metals and real estate. Vista believes our unique diversification is the Wisest way to invest and provide peace and comfort.
