Business Description
Stephen Engels and James Pacholek are registered representatives with Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments and are licensed to sell securities. They may earn commissions from selling general securities products like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and variable annuities to investment advisory clients through an unaffiliated broker-dealer. Clients may purchase securities through a commission-based account introduced through the broker-dealer, and the investment adviser and broker-dealer will receive standard commission compensation.
Some associated persons are also licensed insurance agents and may recommend insurance, advisory, or other products, receiving commissions if clients purchase through them. This creates a conflict of interest, but clients are not obligated to follow these recommendations and can purchase insurance products through other agents. Clients receive quarterly advisory account statements and are encouraged to review them and contact the firm with any questions.
Investment Strategy
When formulating investment advice or managing client assets, CMG Wealth Management employs various investment strategies, including long-term and short-term approaches. A long-term strategy may not capitalize on short-term gains and could experience more volatility over the portfolio's life. Conversely, a short-term strategy may incur higher trading and brokerage costs and carries the risk of anticipated market movements not occurring, potentially leading to holding a security longer than intended.
CMG Wealth Management also utilizes Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), a risk-averse approach that constructs portfolios to maximize expected return for a given level of market risk. MPT emphasizes that risk is inherent in higher rewards and aims to create an "efficient frontier" of optimal portfolios. Additionally, they employ fundamental analysis, evaluating economic and financial factors to determine if a security is underpriced, overpriced, or fairly priced by examining macroeconomic and company-specific factors.
