Investment Philosophy
At Sound Investment Strategies, we believe in a disciplined approach to investing based on Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT). MPT is an investment philosophy that emphasizes diversification across asset classes such as stocks, bonds, real estate & commodities along with geographic regions around the world. By spreading investments across different asset classes it helps reduce risk while maximizing returns over time.
