Business Description
Safeguard Investment Advisory Group, LLC (SIAG) is a registered investment advisor headquartered in Corona, California, providing investment advisory services since February 20, 2008. They offer a wide range of services to meet client needs, including discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, access to third-party investment management, and fee-based financial planning and consulting.
SIAG's Consulting Services involve advising clients on specific financial topics such as risk management, investment planning, financial organization, decision-making, budgeting, debt management, and goal setting. The scope, deliverables, fees, and timeframe are agreed upon in writing before the engagement begins, and a written report is provided if specified in the Advisory Agreement.
Investment Strategy
SIAG utilizes Long Term Trading as an investment strategy, which aims to capture market rates of both return and risk. While frequent trading can impact investment performance due to increased costs and taxes, SIAG reserves the right to increase portfolio turnover if relative valuations change from prior expectations, believing this could improve volatility-adjusted and absolute returns over the long term.
Additionally, SIAG employs fundamental analysis as its primary method for analyzing securities. This involves analyzing financial statements, calculating financial ratios, and reviewing industry trends alongside monetary policy indicators to assess company performance and profitability. Fundamental analysis uses historical and present data, and gains may take several years to materialize due to its long-term approach.
