INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

As your investment manager, Shaffer Capital frees you from the obligation of monitoring and managing your portfolio. Our investment-management professionals are skilled at risk profiling, asset allocation, and investment selection. Together, we will help you find a personalized path toward achieving your investment goals.

We offer the following discretionary investment portfolios:

Shaffer Capital Asset Allocation Portfolios ($25,000 minimum per account). Our asset-allocation strategies seek an attractive total return while managing downside risk. They may use no-load mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, and cash alternatives. Adjustments in allocations are made for taxable versus non-taxable accounts. Active strategies employ funds utilizing active security selection, while Passive strategies utilize index funds.

• Aggressive - Active or Passive
• Moderate Aggressive - Active or Passive
• Moderate - Active or Passive
• Moderate Conservative - Active or Passive
• Conservative - Active or Passive
• Ultra Conservative - Active or Passive

Shaffer Capital Equity-Income Portfolio ($50,000 minimum per account) – Our Equity-Income strategy is comprised of approximately 15-20 individual stocks. While dividend income is a priority, growth, valuation, and risk are important components of the stock selection process.

Shaffer Capital Core-Equity Portfolio ($50,000 minimum per account). – Our Core-Equity strategy is comprised of approximately 15-20 individual stocks. Growth through total return is the primary objective, but valuation and risk are important components of the stock selection process.

Shaffer Capital Growth-Equity Portfolio ($50,000 minimum per account) – Our Growth-Equity strategy is comprised of approximately 15-20 individual stocks. Future price appreciation and consistent EPS growth are the driving factors in stock selection, but financial stength and a commitment to R&D also are required. The strategy is appropriate for investors seeking aggressive growth.

Shaffer Capital Fixed-Income Portfolio ($75,000 minimum per account) – Our Fixed-Income strategies are tailored utilizing individual bond issues to solve for the client's specific needs. Fixed-Income portfolios are managed based on the client's need for income, the timing/duration of the income stream, and default risk. Adjustments are made for taxable versus non-taxable accounts.

Shaffer Capital Balanced Portfolios ($100,000 minimum per account) – Our Balanced Portfolios contain stocks from either the Equity-Income or Core-Equity Portfolios and bonds from the Fixed-Income Portfolio. Clients can also choose from three different Equity/Fixed-Income targets depending on their objectives. Adjustments are made for taxable versus non-taxable accounts.

      •  70% Equity / 30% Fixed-Income
      •  50% Equity / 50% Fixed-Income
      •  30% Equity / 70% Fixed-Income

Accounts below $25,000. Shaffer Capital can also serve as an investment manager for accounts that do not meet the minimum investment requirement for the strategies above. On a discretionary basis, we will select either no-load mutual funds or exchange-traded funds for our clients. Adjustments are made for taxable versus non-taxable accounts.
