Why Caitlin John?

A Smarter Way To Invest

Caitlin John and our Advisors work closely with third party Portfolio Managers like a Smarter Way to Invest. They are also an Independent Registered Investment Advisor Firm focused solely on portfolio management. A Smarter Way to Invest employs a rules-based formulaic investment approach to identifying individual Stocks and ETF’s that are then compiled by asset class in their proprietary Models and Allocations. Our clients benefit from this more disciplined and empirical process over a buy and hold approach using Mutual Funds! A Smarter Way to Invest is constantly evaluating and repositioning in accordance to both their model discipline and your Personalized Financial Plan. This process will help to meet your specific risk tolerance, Income needs, and long-term financial goals. Your Caitlin John Advisor will help you get started by evaluating your existing portfolio utilizing both Risk analysis and portfolio Blueprinting software to highlight key details including true costs, correlations, overlapping risks, and the opportunity for improved efficiency. Then you and Advisor working with A Smarter Way to Invest, will be leveraging a more Dynamic, and Disciplined investment approach! This will help to either achieve opportunities for growth or produce a sustainable rising income stream from your portfolio. Whatever your objective is, this process will also be seeking to identify and help mitigate the risk of significant loss in the next Bear market.

Knowing What You Own and Why You Own It

Have you ever been “sold” a Mutual Fund or an Annuity perhaps? The financial services industry has become largely comprised of selling agents and brokers who are primarily transactional. It is important that you know the difference between Suitability vs. Fiduciary. They live in a world of suitability, which means their recommendation does not have to be in your Best Interest…just suitable. We see many investors that are frustrated and confused by dismal performance or simply a lack of understanding of WHAT they own or Why they own it. The commission bias and perpetuated dogmas of the Wall Street culture have overshadowed the time-tested formulas for success still used by the world’s most affluent investors. At Caitlin John, we firmly believe that clients want to be educated and not sold! Moreover, working strictly with a Fiduciary Firm and Advisor that will actually take the necessary time to educate you is a rarity these days.
