Blue Vase Capital Management' investment programs utilize strict asset allocation models to build portfolios. Every investor has certain variables that affect their investment allocation. Time horizon, risk tolerance, and financial goals are a few of those factors. Blue Vase Capital Management has developed a system for assisting clients to determine what allocation is appropriate for them depending on these factors. To start the process, an IA Rep will assist a client in completing a Suitability Questionnaire.

Once the Suitability Questionnaire is completed, we generate a Proposed Investment Policy Statement for the client's review. This statement displays the results of the Suitability Questionnaire, and suggests an appropriate allocation for the client's investment.* Assets are diversified using exchange traded funds across various market capitalizations or asset classes, and combine both equity and fixed income positions.

Once the assets are invested into the specific portfolio, Blue Vase Capital Management monitors the allocation and the exchange traded funds. Portfolios are rebalanced quarterly, as needed, to make sure the funds maintain the original allocation corresponding to the client's suitability.

*Completion of the Suitability Questionnaire and the generation of the Proposed Investment Policy Statement do not constitute a sale and does not obligate an investor to invest funds in The Independence Portfolio or Independence Folio. All agreements, forms, and disclosures must be completed and returned to Blue Vase Capital Management prior to establishing a managed account.
