Mission Statement
At Quantum Financial Advisors our mission is to offer global
access to premier institutional money & wealth management
products and services, on a wholesale basis.
Our Investment Strategy
Most importantly, our strategy proposes an optimal asset
allocation that is custom tailored to each client’s appetite
for risk. Prior to executing trades, we take into account
independent research, calculate our own intrinsic value, and
review fundamental and technical analyses. In this respect
we use state-of –the-art-technology and research from many
Wall Street firms. Lastly, we believe it is important to
focus on financial & tax planning and money management to
maximize client’s returns, while minimizing market risk.
Our Values
QFA firmly believes in teamwork, integrity and excellence,
while placing the clients’ need above those of the company
and the principal of the firm. Furthermore, we utilize our
core values as a cornerstone in building successful
relationships for the long term.
Our Professionals
QFA’s advisors must meet the highest personal and
professional standards in order to offer both our
institutional and retail clients what we call, “advice with
integrity”. Our business relationships are built on mutual
trust and respect.
Recent Successes
QFA clients participated in over 40 IPOs (initial public
offerings) from 1999 to 2007. During the first half of 2000,
QFA was concerned with the high valuations of equities and
the prospect of a Federal Reserve reducing short term rates,
therefore we reduced exposure to many successful IPOs and
high tech stocks (high beta), and simultaneously increased
exposure to long duration bonds. During Q1 of 2003, QFA
called the market bottom and reduced exposure to long term
bonds and increased exposure to equities. Furthermore,
during the first six months of 2003, QFA rolled down the
yield curve for clients that still owned intermediate to
long duration bonds. (We sold intermediate & long duration
corporate bonds and purchased short term high yield debt
instruments). During the second half of 2003, 2004 & 2005,
QFA increased exposure to adjustable rate investments to
take advantage of the Federal Reserve’s increases in short
term interest rates. During 2006, we increased the use of
options to protect clients’ account values, while increasing
current income and extended duration and bought intermediate
to long term callable bonds. In addition, during 2006, QFA
leveraged the technology of our custodian’s platforms and
“web enabled” our clients accounts, thus allowing clients to
receive trade confirms by email, gain access to cost bases,
monthly account statements and 1099’s via the custodian’s
platform, as well as allow our clients to instant access to
real time gain/loss reporting.
Thus , over the years, consistent with QFA’s dynamic and
diversified money management philosophy, portfolio changes
were implemented as economic and market conditions dictated.
Coupled with emphasizing the latest advances in internet
portfolio structuring and management, these fluid maneuvers
proved to be highly successful not only in terms of
increased performance, but also in terms of reduced
portfolio risk and offering our clients a high level of
transparency, liquidity and customized portfolio design.
This critical issue of empowerment sets QFA apart from the
competitors and allows clients full control over their
financial/retirement destiny.
The Future
QFA’s objective is to be the premier financial
advisor/wealth & money management firm by, assisting each of
our clients in defining and achieving their financial goals
over the coming decades, while offering active money
management and access to superior information & services
through QFA’s & the custodian’s advisor platform on the
internet, as well as through a high degree of personal
attention and individually tailored portfolio design.
QFA continuously seeks to create and implement additional
strategic alliances with trust & estate attorneys, tax
specialists and insurance professionals, so as to offer our
clients a full suite approach to wealth management.
Additionally, we will continue to help reduce trade costs,
seek and obtain best trade executions and offer additional
products and services.
As a client centered advisory firm, it is imperative that we
understand each and every clients’ needs and desires. In
doing so, our advisors will make every effort to match
realistic client expectations with the most reliable and
effective money management strategies available, enhancing
portfolio values while at the same time, being critically
mindful of managing risk.
Ultimately, our goal is to empower our clients, within the
context of highly personal, secure and comprehensive wealth
advisory services, so as to enable them to make consistent,
sound and progressive financial decisions.
