Why Use This Tool?

The investment advice and services provided by Monterey Bay Asset Management to its clients vary, depending on each client’s needs, objectives and circumstances.  Factors affecting the tailoring of client portfolios include client investment horizon, risk tolerance, tax sensitivity, estate or trust issues, concentrated stock positions, and other constraints.

Our services typically include the design and implementation of a custom asset allocation, portfolio monitoring, regular reporting, performance analysis and periodic rebalancing.  Investment management is provided on a discretionary basis, however all trades are discussed with clients in advance before they are placed, unless the client requests otherwise.
