Raymond James  Portfolio Construction :  We seek to manage risk to help you achieve your long term financial goals  by following a disciplined four step process:   Step 1   Step 2   Step 3   Step 4 Diversification among different asset classes may lower overall volatility, but does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. Search for  high   quality solutions  that have consistently compensated investors for the active risk taken and construct our client’s portfolios With this process, we go further than the typical approach to: Provide you with a diversified portfolio that is constructed to help you stay on track for long-term success. Help you avoid surprises that can negatively impact a portfolio and prevent you from reaching your goals. Develop forward looking risk, return and correlation assumptions for different asset classes Optimize the asset allocation and build efficient portfolios from the selected asset classes Continuously monitor every element of the process to ensure that we are providing an institutional-quality program
