Investment Approach
We work with our clients to develop an investment policy statement that matches financial resources to financial goals. The investment policy statement then provides the framework for managing your investments and outlines the strategy we believe will provide the best chance of reaching the goals we identify in your financial plan.
Asset Allocation
Oak Street Advisors utilizes a flexible approach to asset allocation. The actual asset allocations to an asset's class or investment vehicle will change depending on market conditions. The portion of an individual portfolio allocated to an investment represents an approximate upper limit , but the actual allocation could be as low as zero from time to time. In fact, there may be times when a portfolio will be allocated 100% to money market or other very short term liquid investments.
Investment Location
The tax-characteristics of Traditional IRAs are different from Roth IRAs-- and those are different from brokerage accounts. Every account used at Oak Street Advisors holds investments that minimize our clients' tax bills.
For example, if a client needs to keep taxable-income low to facilitate Roth conversions, we do not want to produce income in a brokerage account. We'd recommend income producing investment vehicles be placed in tax-free or tax-deferred accounts.
