Investing Strategies

We offer two general strategies, and then tailor portfolios to individual client circumstances as well as the environment at the time a client invests.

1. Diversified Strategy

Objective: Design and maintain diversified investment portfolios aligned with each client’s financial plan.

Suitable For: Clients that utilize Sorfis to manage all or a substantial portion of their investable assets—and thus seek to diversify widely, manage taxes, and have someone to manage their financial plan and answer any financial questions they have over time.

Annual Fee: 0.75% on the first $10 million in assets. 0.50% on assets over $10 million.

Minimum Investment: $250,000.


2. Absolute Return Strategy

Objective: Create a portfolio that either outperforms the S&P 500 over the long run or matches the S&P 500 with lower risk. At times, this strategy may be significantly concentrated in its best ideas.

Suitable For: Clients that want to emphasize valuation and value investing in their portfolios and are willing to accept a higher level of volatility. Often, clients in this strategy utilize Sorfis as one of several investment managers for their investable assets.

Annual Fee: 0.75% on the first $10 million in assets. 0.50% on assets over $10 million.

Minimum Investment: $250,000.


Customized Strategies

For clients with specific needs or goals, we can also create a customized strategy for those circumstances.


Non-Discretionary Accounts

This is for clients who want us to gain their permission before executing a transaction or handling transactions for clients who want to make the buy and sell decisions in their accounts. We may consult with and make recommendations to clients as to when and which securities are to be bought or sold for the account, the total amount of the securities to be bought or sold, and/or the price per share. Still, the course of action must be confirmed by the client before we proceed with taking action on the account.

It is very important to note that because we also manage discretionary accounts, should we decide to buy or sell a security for discretionary accounts, we will likely do so before consulting with or making any recommendations to clients with non-discretionary accounts.

Annual Fee: 0.75% on the first $10 million in assets. 0.50% on assets over $10 million.

Minimum Investment: $250,000.
