A full-service broker is a licensed financial broker-dealer firm that provides a large variety of services to its clients, including research and advice, retirement planning, tax tips, and much more At CGB Finance Services LTD , our investment philosophy is quite simple. We believe that both proper asset allocation and proper investment vehicle selection are the cornerstones to any efficient portfolio.
This combination is what drives long-term risk adjusted value in our client portfolios. Our well-defined and disciplined investment strategy and philosophy is based on academic principles and experience over the years. A good investment policy is one that never changes with changes in market conditions. An investment policy should be modified only with a major shift in one’s investment time horizon, and/or a change in one’s personal tolerance for risk and volatility.
CGB Finance Services LTD ’s strategy is designed to fulfil its long term objective of enhancing the value of its portfolio, which represents a source of future wealth for the people of U.A.E . CGB Finance Services LTD seeks to increase the value of its investment portfolio. CGB Finance Services LTD seeks direct investments in companies with established track records of growth and profitability that demonstrate potential for continued expansion.
The most important principle upon which to premise an investment philosophy is to recognize that “there is no free lunch.” All investing involves trade-offs. For every perceived reward, there is some associated risk — whether perceived or not. Hence, it is incumbent upon every investor, tempted by the potential rewards of any investment, to ascertain the nature and magnitude of the risks involved. To assume that such risks do not exist, just because they are not readily apparent, may be an invitation to disaster. No strategy assures success or protects against loss. Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Tactical allocation may involve more frequent buying and selling of assets and will tend to generate higher transaction cost.
