GWM’s Investment Philosophy

Evidence Over Emotion.

At Groff Wealth Management we believe successful investing requires a plan, not a prediction. We employ a disciplined, evidence-based investment strategy rooted in decades of Nobel Prize winning research.

We construct portfolios focused on the variables we can control in an effort to achieve optimal after-tax returns: diversification, low costs, and tax efficiency.

Most importantly, we never view your investments as a silo. Your portfolio is the cornerstone of your financial plan, designed specifically to help you live a deeper, more fulfilling, adventurous life.

GWM’s Investing Principles

Fiduciary Standard

Acting legally and ethically in your best interest is the foundation of the relationship.

Cost Matters

Keeping investment expenses low is essential to long-term compounding.

Academic Research

Investing should be based on time-tested evidence and data.

Total Objectivity

Independence means no ties to investment banks or insurance companies.

Asset Allocation

Why diversify? Because winners rotate.

Patience & Discipline

Success comes from adhering to a long-term plan through varying market cycles.

Real Return Focus

The only returns that matter are the ones after tax, inflation and fees.

Risk Alignment

Portfolio construction designed to balance your need for growth with your capacity for volatility.
