Tenets of a Clear Philosophy
The Allocation Decision
All investors must decide on a mix of purchasing power risk and market risk—we help our clients make that decision and build a portfolio suited for their unique situation and goals.
A Focus on the Controllable
We avoid the risks we can and manage those that we cannot. Diversification ensures exposure to the best performers and reduces the downside that comes from the laggards. Our approach seeks to outperform, not outsmart the market.
Positioning For Long-Term Success
Our portfolios target empirically proven sources of higher returns. In stocks, we tilt toward lower valuations, smaller size, and higher profitability. In bonds, we seek term and credit premiums when markets offer compensation for such risks.
Managing Expenses
While investors cannot control financial markets, they can control what they pay. Our deep commitment to helping our clients keep more of what they earn in markets helps set us apart from our competitors.

Trust Company’s Approach to Alternatives
Alternatives investing has become an increasingly important allocation decision for many accredited investors. Investments in alternative asset classes such as private equity and private credit can be effective ways to diversify market risk, manage portfolio volatility and earn substantial long-term returns.
Trust Company and its partners maintain an extensive and experienced network from which to source alternative investment opportunities. Our professionals help determine suitability for each client and then evaluate, execute and manage investments across a broad range of alternatives strategies.
