GOALS-BASED INVESTING

The Horizon Difference

Goals-based advisors center their practice on people and their financial objectives. As a goals-based investment manager, Horizon stands shoulder to shoulder with you. We design investment strategies that connect to a client’s financial goals, understanding that they have a fixed amount of time to reach their objectives.

Horizon believes there are three stages to a client’s investment journey: Gain, Protect and Spend. Our strategies are designed to match those common financial goals. Here at Horizon, we call that connecting product to planning.

GAIN Stage

In this stage, we seek to capture growth trends with a flexible, active investing process that’s designed with the goal of growing wealth over time, while being mindful of volatility.

DESIRED OUTCOME:
Accumulation

PRIMARY RISK:
Volatility

PROTECT Stage

Within this stage, we seek to grow assets while mitigating the risk of a catastrophic portfolio loss that could derail a financial plan.

DESIRED OUTCOME:
Preservation

PRIMARY RISK:
Catastrophic Portfolio Loss

SPEND Stage

In this stage, we seek to provide the ability for taking regular distributions and preserve spending power, while addressing longevity and shortfall risks.

DESIRED OUTCOME:
Distribution

PRIMARY RISK:
Longevity

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Built on Goals-Based Principles

We are not a typical investment manager. As we like to say, style-box investing is not our style. We have distinctly different strategies.

Our grounding in goals-based principles drives us to focus on the outcome targeted by a financial plan rather than style boxes. At Horizon, we marry rigorous investment research with innovations in portfolio construction to create practical strategies.
