Investment Portfolio Management
Investment Portfolio Management
The Bread & Butter of Investing
Investment Management at Heritage Investors takes your lifestyle into account. The modern work/life balance leaves you with precious little time. Between managing your career, your family, and your household, finding time to properly research and invest seems impossible. We understand.
That’s why we take the time to know you as a person, rather than just a client, so we can better understand your needs and financial goals. Whether you’re preparing for your children’s education or simply consolidating accounts, we are here to help you make your goals a reality.
At Heritage, we align the financial markets to your specific financial, tax, and risk management goals. Our team works tirelessly, researching quality investments we believe will yield the highest possible returns with the lowest possible costs. We then present our research to you in everyday terms, encouraging feedback and ensuring you feel confident in your individual plan.
Heritage Investors’ Style of Investment Portfolio Management
Investment Portfolio Management is for individuals who trust and understand that there is value in an expert handling this area. It’s for people who place a premium on time and personal care. Handling your own investments requires hours of research, constant market monitoring, and analysis that your busy life may not allow.
Additionally, you may understand investment technologies or possess the knowledge of how, and when, to course-correct with market changes, but if you’re like most people, you could struggle to detach your emotions from your investments.
That’s why we share the management philosophy of Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett who once said:
“Lethargy, bordering on sloth, remains the cornerstone of our investment style.”
Once the research has been conducted, build a strategy, and stick to the plan. Seldom are there successes in buying and selling based on a hunch or on knee-jerk reactions. Instead, Heritage utilizes proven research surrounding Target Band rebalancing.
What is Target Band Rebalancing?
Simply put, target-band rebalancing is a tool used to ensure your portfolio doesn’t become too heavy in one position or too light in another. The target-band monitors, purchases, and sells your stocks in real-time, and it does so with razor-sharp efficiency.
Essentially, a target-band analyzes the various positions and sets a strategic target so that when the position reaches that target, the target-band automatically sells the position and buys another.

What is a Fiduciary and Why is it so Important?
You’ve probably heard the term, “fiduciary,” tossed around a bit. But what is a fiduciary, and why is it beneficial to work with one? As part of our ongoing commitment to client education, we’ve decided to create this quick guide to answer some of the questions you might have about hiring a financial advisor with a fiduciary obligation.

Awards and Certifications
Certifications
CEP® – Certified Estate Planner™
The CEP® (Certified Estate Planner™) or MCEP® (Master Certified Estate Planner™), is a financial, legal, or tax professional who has earned a distinctive educational certification through the National Institute of Certified Estate Planners (NICEP).
A CEP® has completed a rigorous eight (8) module course of instruction in the field of estate planning, successfully passed a comprehensive proctored examination process, shown a desire to associate with professional estate planning peers, agreed to comply with annual estate planning continuing education requirements, and ascribed to the practical guidelines and code of ethics of the NICEP.
CEPA® – Certified Exit Planning Advisor®
The Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) credential is for professional advisors who want to effectively engage more business owners. Through the process of Exit Planning (the Value Acceleration Methodology), owners can build more valuable companies, have stronger personal financial plans, and align their personal goals. Earning CEPA doesn’t change your expertise, it enhances your ability to engage business owners and have value-added conversations around growth and exit.
CFA® – Chartered Financial Analyst
A Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) charter is a designation given to those who have completed the CFA® Program and completed acceptable work experience requirements. The CFA Program is a three-part exam that tests the fundamentals of investment tools, valuing assets, portfolio management, and wealth planning. The CFA Program is typically completed by those with backgrounds in finance, accounting, economics, or business. CFA charterholders earn the right to use the CFA designation after program completion, application, and acceptance by CFA Institute.
CFP® – CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Practitioner
As part of their certification, CFP® professionals commit to CFP Board’s Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct, which means they commit to work in their clients’ best interests at all times when providing financial advice. Not all financial planners make that commitment to their profession. CFP Board’s Code of Ethics outlines CFP® professionals’ obligations to uphold principles of integrity, objectivity, competence, fairness, confidentiality, professionalism and diligence. The Rules of Conduct require CFP® professionals to put clients’ interests above their own, and to provide their financial planning services as a “fiduciary” — acting in the best interest of their financial planning clients. CFP® professionals are subject to sanctions if they violate these standards.
ChFC® – Chartered Financial Consultant®
The ChFC® degree program requires students to complete nine college-level courses or 27 hours of college credit in the field. Students must achieve mastery of more than 100 integrated advanced financial planning topics, including:

A live case study ties the program together and an online exam completes it.

Strategies For All Areas Of Your Financial Life...
Personal
Portfolio/Investment Management
Data-driven, emotion-free strategies drive toward your financial goals. We use your individual goals, risk-tolerance, and time horizon to handcraft a strategy that fits you.
Comprehensive Wealth Management
From your current financial position to well beyond retirement, and every step in between, we believe every aspect of a comprehensive financial plan should work toward your financial goals.
Retirement Planning
Just because you’ve retired doesn’t mean your money has. Heritage’s wealth preservation strategies aim to generate enough retirement income to live the lifestyle you’re accustomed to, leaving a legacy to family or foundations & charities.
Business
Wealth Management for Business Owners
We believe you can only effectively grow your overall wealth when your personal finances are in order. That’s why we use strategies unique to your life, as a business owner, to drive toward your personal financial goals.
Business Value Growth
Statistics show that 80% of a small business owner’s net worth is tied to the business. With that much of your financial future tied to your company, you must build it to not only increase personal benefits but also its value as an asset.
Exit Planning
When it is time to exit your business you need to know that both your personal assets and the value of the business will meet your retirement goals.
Our Team Sets Us Apart
At Heritage, we exist to help you and your family or staff reach their goals; one conversation, one meeting, and one action at a time. In order to provide expert advice, we must be experts in our field. This is why Heritage puts an emphasis on continued education and certification. That’s why the entire Heritage team has achieved the CEPA® designation.
As recipients of the Exit Planning Institute’s Leader of the Year Award and three-time Investopedia Top-100 Advisor, members of our team are becoming recognized as a thought leaders in the financial industry. But the talent and commitment to excellence doesn’t stop there. We are a team of MBAs, CFP®s, ChFP®s, CVGA®s, authors, and business owners committed to helping you achieve all of your financial goals.
Educating Thousands Like You On:
Comprehensive Wealth Management
Comprehensive Wealth Management
At Heritage Investors, we believe that comprehensive wealth management goes beyond simply buying and selling stocks in a portfolio. We take a systematic approach to asset management by analyzing everything that contributes to your net worth, with the goal of increasing your assets while decreasing your liabilities.
Our team members work to come up with a comprehensive financial strategy to help you continue building wealth in all areas of your financial life. As fiduciaries, we work to give you highly personalized financial advice, including serving as tax consultants, estate planners, and so much more. Our team will take the time to comb through all of your finances and find ways to minimize the transference of your wealth to others.
The areas of your financial life that Heritage addresses:
the controllable (in the box) and the uncontrollable (outside the box)
Wealth Management… More Than Just Your Investment Portfolio
In addition to the Portfolio Management services that we provide, Heritage Investors is equipped to handle everything from your individual investments, trusts, and retirement plans, to institutional assets. We believe that the best way forward is to align all of your assets and finances to work toward the same goal. When you partner with Heritage, you can rest in the knowledge that our dedicated team of Wealth Managers is caring for all of your financial needs.
Building wealth is about more than managing your investment portfolio. With proper planning and the utilization of various tax strategies, you can minimize the transference of your wealth to others.
Individual Assets
Your net worth is the cumulative total value of all of your assets and holdings. If you’re neglecting your individual assets to focus solely on your investment holdings, you could be leaving a lot of money on the table. Heritage Investors has years of experience in managing our clients’ portfolios, but we are equally skilled in managing individual assets.
Are you making the most of your savings? Is your home mortgage eligible for tax deductions? Do you have enough protection to cover your expenses in the event that you can no longer work
