What are your services?

Eddy company offers investment management and tax preparation.  Please contact us with your specific needs and we will return your request promptly.

What is your investment philosophy?

Adhering to a long-term investment plan though market fluctuations versus attempting to time the market is the core of the firm’s advice.  As supported by some recent studies, the firm believes the majority of investment returns are derived from a portfolio’s asset allocation.  Therefore, research is focused on the weightings of asset classes, and capturing excess return due to these weightings.  Access to various asset classes can be achieved via lower cost ETF’s (Exchange Traded Funds). High cost investments can erode return over time.  Low-cost, tax-efficient investing is a priority in formulating investment recommendations.

What makes you different from other advisors?

Eddy Company, LLC is a registered investment advisor.  The firm is independent, and makes investment decisions in-house.  The firm has no incentives to offer any particular fund or other investment to you. Therefore, the advice given is totally unbiased.  The firm offers advice that is cost-efficient, and strives to achieve your long-term investment goals.  Also, with both tax preparation and investment management, everything can be done virtually.  With state-of-the-art technology, Eddy Company protects your sensitive personal data.

What are your fees?

Our assets-under-management (AUM) fee for professional investment management is reasonable and negotiable.  Fees are generally tiered based on size of account.

What is your performance?

Performance is specific to account.  The firm strives to construct diversified, long-term portfolios that at least match the relevant asset weighted benchmark after fund expenses.  The firm believes that much of portfolio performance is derived from asset allocation, which is constructed based on risk tolerance and long-term goals/constraints.  Your assigned advisor can give you more information on historical firm performance.

What if my account goes down?  Do I have any protection or insurance against losses?

Securities offered through Eddy Company, LLC are not FDIC insured.  They may lose principal value.   However, there are hedging strategies using certain securities that can lower volatility of your portfolio.  Ask your advisor about using strategies to lower volatility and potential losses in your portfolio.
