Dollar-Cost Averaging
Modified Dollar-Cost Averaging
Modified DCA differs from
normal DCA in that it takes
movements in the market into
consideration.
DCA does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continuous
investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels and and investor should consider their financial ability to
continue their purchases through periods of low price levels.
Methods
Calling the bottom is impossible (Review)
Boston Globe, Aug 12, 2000 - "…at these undervalued prices…we're not
selling any stock at these prices". (On Monday, Aug 14, the S&P 500
closed at 1491. Four years later on Aug 12 2004, the S&P fell a
further 29% to close at 1063.)
Wired Magazine, Dec 4, 2000 - "Fred Siegel, president of investment
management firm Siegel Group, believes that it is unlikely that the
Nasdaq will drop more than another 200 points." (The Nasdaq fell
over 1,000 points shortly after Siegel made his prediction.)
Market guru and former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer of
TheStreet.com said it well in Jan 2001: “I get paid to call bottoms. I
don't see one yet, but in my 18 years of trading I've never called one
exactly right yet. I don't see why this time will be any different."
DCA does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continuous
investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels and and investor should consider their financial ability to continue
their purchases through periods of low price levels.

Implementation
Depending on the nature of your investment management team, some or all of
the implementation process may be your responsibility.
An experienced financial planning professional will likely have experience and
expertise to provide advice in each “Stage of Service”; yet, they may not be able
to give tax or legal advice without the proper licensure. In this case, they may be
able to act as a quarterback for your professional “Circle of Trust”.

The Investment Policy Statement
What is an IPS?
The means for turning your vision into reality. It is a living
document that guides all investment decisions.
Establishes a clear understanding between decision makers.
Provides a meaningful basis for the evaluation.
Enables the client, the advisor and portfolio managers to protect
the fund from ad hoc revisions of sound long-term policy
when short-term exigencies are most distressing and the
policy is in doubt.
The Investment Policy Statement
Why is it important to develop an IPS?
Puts structure to your goals
Manager or Broker Succession
Control Emotional Decisions
Identifies Responsibilities
Determine Asset Allocation
Sets Up Performance Measurement Criteria
The Investment Policy Statement
Do I need an Investment Policy Statement?
1. What rate of return have your investments achieved over the
last three years? Last five years?
2. How are the returns calculated?
3. Are you a fiduciary?
4. What procedures do you use to select your investments and/or
your investment managers (or funds)?
5. What is your investment allocation?
6. What system, if any, do you use to time the market or to
rebalance your portfolio?
7. What asset classes are permitted for your use? Which are
restricted?
The Investment Policy Statement
Do I need an Investment Policy Statement?
8. What is your target rate of return and how was it determined?
Is it a nominal rate or in relation to some benchmark, such as
inflation or the S&P 500?
9. What level of risk is acceptable to you and how do you qualify
that?
10. How much liquidity is required for your portfolio and how do
you determine that level?
If your response to any of the above was “I don’t know,” your
answer was less than clear, or if you answered “yes” to
question 3, then you need an Investment Policy Statement
and this section of the class is intended for you.
The Investment Policy Statement
Q: Who is Responsible for its Development?
A: The Client and the Investment Professional!
For the Client, it serves the useful purpose of requiring thinking
about preferences and expectations with respect to the market.
For the Investment Professional, an IPS provides the basis for
recommendations and for investment decisions in situations of
uncertainty.
The Investment Policy Statement
Client Responsibilities
Communicate your goals
Determine your time horizon
Gather personal financial data
Consolidate holdings
Know your fees and expenses
Determine you risk tolerance
The Investment Policy Statement
Investment Professional Responsibilities
Help in determining your risk tolerance
Help determine long term goals
Provide asset allocation recommendations
Explain what appropriate fees and expenses should be
Help select appropriate managers
Set standards for performance reporting
The Investment Policy Statement
Seven Elements of a Well Constructed IPS
1. Executive Summary/Statement of Purpose
2. Investment Goals and Objectives
3. Statement of Responsibility
4. Investment Guidelines
5. Asset Mix Guidelines
6. Communication
7. Performance Review and Evaluation
The Investment Policy Statement
1. Executive Summary/Statement of Purpose
This section lays out the groundwork for the rest of the
document. It first answers the question, “Who are you?” Next, it
describes your broad aims. It also documents the intended
purpose of the financial assets considered in the portfolio design.
An explanation of the purpose of the IPS, objectives, and
legal structure.
The size of the portfolio, future payment information, and
disbursement schedules.
The tax status of the portfolio.
A description of participant demographics.

The Investment Policy Statement
2. Statement of Responsibility
This section describes the related parties involved in the IPS
design and implementation process. It includes the investment
advisor and the custodian. It may also include others such as the
co-trustee, an auditor of the records, and those rendering tax and
legal advice about the IPS.
Source: The Complete Guide to Managing a Portfolio of Mutual Funds, by Ronald K. Rutherford.
The Investment Policy Statement
3. Investment Goals and Objectives
Time Horizon
Risk Tolerance
Asset Class Preferences
Expected or Desired Rate of Return
Lifestyle needs
The Investment Policy Statement
4. Investment Guidelines
Guidelines are established to identify the parameters within the
investment strategy. This section is the appropriate place to
articulate concerns and expectations, and acknowledge the
uncertainties of investing in the capital markets. This section
should include restrictions including prohibited transactions.
The Investment Policy Statement
5. Asset Mix Guidelines
Asset mix guidelines can include restrictions placed by the client or
client circumstances on securities or investment categories. This is also
the place to document restrictions suggested by the advisor. For
example, an unrestricted asset allocation model may assign all financial
assets to two or three categories or asset classes.
The Investment Policy Statement
6. Communication
Example-Investment Manager(s) Communication with the Trustees
Provide monthly statements, quarterly portfolio valuations and
transaction listings
Meet at least (quarterly, semi-annually, annually)
Review past investment performance, evaluate the current
investment outlook, and discuss investment strategy
Provide information regarding major changes in investment policy
that may result in major investment strategy changes.
The Investment Policy Statement
7. Performance Review
1. Up is good, Down is bad
2. Performance at or above goal
3. Performance within volatility tolerance
4. Relative Performance
5. Trend of Performance vs. Goal

-Some investments make more sense to be in certain types of accounts.
Higher cash balances in taxable checkwriting accounts, tax-advantaged
investments in taxable accounts, high-income investments in non-
taxable accounts, etc.
-Income generation and cash flow can be extremely important,
depending on where you are in your financial life cycle. Many reports
will estimate future income based off of current yield figures.

Generational Wealth Management - Week 4

  • 1. Wealth Management An Unbiased Approach to Managing Your Investments Designed for the Affluent Investor
  • 2. Wealth Management Process Week 4: Managing Your Investments Manager Selection Financial Advisor Implementation Investment Policy Performance Monitoring
  • 3. Methods Implementation Methods: Lump-Sum Investing Dollar-Cost Averaging Modified Dollar-Cost Averaging Modified DCA differs from normal DCA in that it takes movements in the market into consideration. DCA does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels and and investor should consider their financial ability to continue their purchases through periods of low price levels.
  • 4. Methods Calling the bottom is impossible (Review) Boston Globe, Aug 12, 2000 - "…at these undervalued prices…we're not selling any stock at these prices". (On Monday, Aug 14, the S&P 500 closed at 1491. Four years later on Aug 12 2004, the S&P fell a further 29% to close at 1063.) Wired Magazine, Dec 4, 2000 - "Fred Siegel, president of investment management firm Siegel Group, believes that it is unlikely that the Nasdaq will drop more than another 200 points." (The Nasdaq fell over 1,000 points shortly after Siegel made his prediction.) Market guru and former hedge fund manager Jim Cramer of TheStreet.com said it well in Jan 2001: “I get paid to call bottoms. I don't see one yet, but in my 18 years of trading I've never called one exactly right yet. I don't see why this time will be any different." DCA does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels and and investor should consider their financial ability to continue their purchases through periods of low price levels.
