Business Description
Safeguard Investment Advisory Group, LLC (SIAG) is a registered investment advisor headquartered in Corona, California. They have been providing investment advisory services since February 20, 2008, and are owned equally by Reid Abedeen, Edward A. Sota, and Ricky Rivera. SIAG offers a wide range of investment advisory services, including investment management services on a discretionary and non-discretionary basis, access to third-party investment management services, fee-based financial planning services, and consulting services.
SIAG's consulting services involve advising clients on specific limited-scope financial topics, such as risk management, investment planning, financial organization, financial decision-making and negotiation, budgeting, debt management, and financial goal setting. Before any engagement begins, the client and representative agree on the scope of services, deliverables, fees, and timeframe for completion. A written report is only provided if specifically agreed upon in writing. SIAG emphasizes the client's right to decline any advice given, and all employees are required to act in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
Investment Strategy
SIAG primarily utilizes two investment strategies: Long Term Trading and Short Term Trading. Long Term Trading aims to capture market rates of both return and risk, while Short Term Trading involves more frequent trading, potentially leading to higher transactional costs. Both strategies are fundamental in nature, meaning they focus on analyzing a company's value and expected future earnings.
SIAG also employs fundamental analysis as its primary method for analyzing securities. This involves examining financial statements, calculating financial ratios, and reviewing industry trends to assess company performance and profitability. While fundamental analysis takes a long-term approach, there are risks associated with making financial forecasts based on historical and present data.
