Why We Choose To Be A Dimensional Funds Advisor
The idea behind DFA is to create portfolios less vulnerable to steep declines. The result is a family of potential portfolios that allows the investor the highest possible return at any level of risk. Trying to time the market is rarely successful; “buy and hold” offers far better opportunities.
DFA funds improve your investment results – simple and smart.

Our Investment Process
We manage market risk for high-net-worth individuals by implementing strategic asset allocation models and techniques. The asset allocation is responsible for more than 90% of variations in portfolio performance. Our process is geared around selecting the appropriate strategy and providing you with peace of mind. Our investment process includes a four-step approach.
Step 1.
Introductory Conversation
We listen to understand your current investment portfolio, financial objectives, time horizons and risk tolerance, as well as, any other unique circumstances.
Step 2.
Initial Meeting
We will recommend an appropriate strategy to match your objectives. Each of our asset allocation models is established using different weightings of equity, fixed income and alternative investments to adjust the overall level of risk.
Step 3.
Goals and Objectives
We will prepare and submit the paperwork necessary to open an account, and will monitor the transfer of all existing assets. For custodial services we work with Charles Schwab & Co, Inc. It is important to note that Denali does not maintain custody of securities or funds with the exception of its ability to withdraw Advisory Fees from a clients account.
Step 4.
Implementation
We regularly review the individual assets within each portfolio for the client and provide performance reports to ensure your financial objectives are being met. To avoid short term capital gains we typically only perform one rebalance per year.
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.
