MCA Difference: Positive and Substantial

Research: Focusing on what really matters

We do not practice investment research in the traditional Wall Street sense, trying to uncover stocks that will outperform the market, or trying to determine when we think the market is going to go up or down. Rather, as adherents to the concept of the markets being "efficient" (i.e., that the best evidence of the "true" value of a particular security at any given time is at - or very close to - the price at which it is trading and that any arbitrage opportunities are few, far between and fleeting), we believe our time is better spent researching and formulating asset allocation models that will give our clients the best chance of meeting their investment objectives. We accomplish this without taking on unnecessary risk and by uncovering those investment vehicles that will most effectively and economically deliver the asset classes that are a part of that allocation. We never stop looking for the best managed, most reasonably priced investment vehicles the market has to offer.
