What We Do

Investment Management

Our Approach and Philosophy

At our FSA, we take an active approach to investment management, with strategies that are designed to increase your portfolio value during rising markets and cushion against losses during sustained downward trends.

This active approach was established in response to our clients’ concerns during tough market times. Recognizing that the majority of clients struggled with the volatility of the market, we developed new strategies to mitigate their risk.

For clients with a higher tolerance for risk and volatility, we offer additional strategies designed to align with their investment goals.

Benefits of In-House Investment Management

Our investment management team monitors markets on an ongoing, daily basis so they can adjust accordingly.

We have a specialized team focused on markets, buying and selling so that our advisors can focus on financial planning and client care.

FSA takes full responsibility for our investment accounts – we take care of our clients because our business depends on it.

A collaborative environment is fostered where the investment team and advisors work closely together.

Every client – big or small – gets the same attention when it comes to managing accounts.

At FSA, we operate under a fundamental principle: “You succeed by avoiding losses.” This mantra encapsulates our investment philosophy and highlights the significant emotional impact that portfolio losses can have on your financial journey. Preventing these challenging downturns is just as critical as pursuing higher returns.

That’s the motivation behind our FSA Safety Net®, a strategy crafted to navigate uncertainty and shield your valuable assets. Recognizing when to sell is just as vital as knowing what to invest in. Our Safety Net offers a tailored exit point for each asset, allowing us to swiftly adapt to market fluctuations.

The FSA Safety Net® has proven successful in preserving gains during volatile periods. While investing comes with its risks, including the potential for principal loss, our team is committed to guiding you through market fluctuations and safeguarding your financial future.

Active Investing

We recognize that the market is ever-evolving, with various asset classes and sectors experiencing their own cycles of popularity. That’s why we employ a tactical investing strategy, seizing opportunities when they are thriving and pulling back when they are not. This adaptable approach aims to safeguard your investments while also positioning you for growth, aligning your portfolio with your objectives in a dynamic financial environment.

Passive Investment Strategies

We understand that different clients have different investment goals and risk tolerance. That’s why we’ve designed passive investment strategies for clients who are comfortable with the ups and downs of the stock market, such as younger investors or those focused on long-term growth.

Our passive strategies follow a consistent allocation between stock and bond funds to match your goals and comfort level. These are the three main options we offer:


  • Global Growth: A higher-risk option with 90% invested in stocks and 10% in bonds, ideal for those seeking maximum growth potential.
  • Global Moderate: A balanced approach with 70% in stocks and 30% in bonds, providing growth with some stability.
  • Global Balanced: A conservative option with an even 50/50 split between stocks and bonds for a steadier ride.


We regularly review and rebalance these portfolios to ensure they stay aligned with your chosen allocation.

For taxable accounts, these strategies are designed to be tax-efficient, thanks to the tax-loss harvesting feature and their simple, long-term approach.
