Investment Strategy
Cresset utilizes various investment strategies to manage client accounts, with the specific approach tailored to each client's unique financial situation, objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, and other suitability factors. These strategies include asset allocation, where the focus is on determining the appropriate ratio of securities, fixed income, and cash aligned with the client's investment goals and risk tolerance. This strategy aims to mitigate the risk of missing out on sharp increases in specific securities or market sectors, but it also carries the risk of the ratio shifting over time due to market movements, potentially misaligning with the client's goals.
Another strategy employed by Cresset is long-term purchases, where securities are acquired with the intention of holding them for a year or longer. This approach is typically used when the securities are deemed undervalued or when exposure to a specific asset class is desired over time, regardless of short-term market fluctuations.
