Investment Decisions at Opal Follow a Structured Process
Our firm maintains an investment committee that reviews research from multiple institutional research providers. The committee evaluates economic conditions, capital market expectations, and investment opportunities when determining how portfolios should be positioned.
This approach provides discipline while allowing portfolios to adapt as conditions evolve.
Investment Decisions
Begin With the Plan
Before constructing a portfolio, we work through a discovery and planning process to understand what your wealth needs to accomplish.
This conversation typically includes:
- Retirement timing
- Spending needs
- Tax considerations
- Family priorities
- Upcoming life events
- Long-term legacy objectives
Our Investment Approach
We consider your time horizon, liquidity needs, potential downside scenarios, and the level of return required to support long-term spending when structuring your portfolio. In building a portfolio that supports your goals and remains resilient through changing market environments, we focus on:
Strategic Asset Allocation
Our investment committee develops an allocation framework designed to balance growth, income, stability, and liquidity with diversification across asset classes.
Ongoing Portfolio Oversight
Our investment committee monitors research, market developments, and portfolio positioning on an ongoing basis.
Private Market Investments
Private investments can offer diversification and return opportunities, while involving longer time horizons and added complexity. Examples include private equity, private credit, real estate partnerships, and other K-1 investments.
Investment Selection
Each investment is evaluated based on philosophy, process, performance history, fees, and management experience. We utilize a range of vehicles, including index funds, ETFs, active managers, and specialized strategies.
