Bull or bear, markets are no match for our investment strategy.
We know that it’s better to spend time in the market rather than timing the market - so our unemotional, data-driven process seeks to manage risk over return. Within that, our customized strategies allow us to accommodate your specific risk tolerance, goals, and tax situation. And as dedicated fiduciaries without a proprietary investment vehicle, you can rest assured that our goals are always aligned with yours.
Public Markets
We'll tailor an investment approach for you that meets your individualized risk tolerance and regulatory restrictions, as set forth in the
investment policy statement (IPS).

Diversification
Portfolio diversification can provide a smoother ride and insulation from volatile equities. We can help you select the right type of diversification — and implement the right strategy — to provide stability today and returns in the future.
Handling the market with transparency.
As humans, we’re hardwired to be emotional. That instinct has served us well since the dawn of time to avoid threats in our environment to our species. And yet, that “fight or flight” impulse tempts us to try to time the markets — and doesn’t always lead to successful investment outcomes.
We’ve developed what we consider to be a disciplined, objective, model-driven investment process to navigate the inevitable investor tendency of oscillating between excessive greed and fear. We’ve seen market volatility before, and we take seriously our responsibility to help you through.
In the past 35 years, our team has honed a disciplined, consistent, and efficient investment process, which relies on objective inputs at its core. Balentine’s model is built on asset class performance dispersion, which unfolds throughout long periods with great amplitude — and creates opportunities in a simple, repeatable way.
Our philosophy is grounded in behavioral finance: understanding that investors will gradually and predictably change emotions over time. The market pushes some asset classes too high on greed, while pushing others too low on fear. As long as investors continue to demonstrate behavior driven by these emotions, there will always be market inefficiencies that our proprietary models are designed to capture.
We know that attempts to time the exact market bottom or top of each cycle are futile, and that return dispersions between asset class pairs are both widespread and long-lived. Our proprietary quantitative models are able to identify where we are in the market cycle, not only capitalizing on the emotional patterns of other market participants, but also capturing the majority of an unfolding cycle.
We seek to provide downside protection in sustained bear markets while also participating in bull markets. Our investment process leads to proactive rebalancing into asset classes that we believe are more likely to outperform, and away from asset classes that are decreasing in value. We also are quick to capitalize on tactical opportunities, which benefits investors looking to realize near-term opportunities that may have otherwise been missed.
