Summary | Portfolios | How to Invest We believe that producing positive returns as consistently as possible without incurring catastrophic losses is the key to long-term wealth accumulation. Our conviction is that by minimizing volatility, yet achieving reasonably good returns over time, our strategy grants its investors better staying power, allowing them to remain invested over longer periods of time as opposed to selling out all or a portion of a portfolio during market contractions. We further believe that our portfolio management strategies, when combined with more traditional portfolios, can serve to dramatically lower overall volatility in a more optimal fashion than more traditional methods such as balancing equity portfolios with fixed income investments, achieving similar drops in volatility without giving up as much return. Our goal is to provide long-term wealth accumulation with less risk. To achieve this, our portfolio management team uses a sophisticated proprietary process to select the best portfolio for return that is consistent with a targeted level of volatility (as measured by standard deviation). Stated differently, Microsigma’s investment strategy first looks to minimize volatility, with return an important but secondary consideration.
