Loring Ward Investment Committee Video:

Founded by three financial advisors in Silicon Valley, Loring Ward has extensive experience helping advisors build diversified portfolios AND become true wealth Advisors.

We believe, a successful wealth advisory practice begins with a solid, consistent investment philosophy that helps you set—and meet—proper expectations about the market and market returns.

• We’ve been building Asset Class portfolios that combine behavioral finance and science for more than 22 years. All of our portfolio models are designed by Loring Ward’s Investment Committee, which includes Nobel Laureate, Dr. Harry Markowitz, and Behavioral Finance pioneer, Dr. Meir Statman.

• We design portfolios to meet the needs of real people — we focus on improving the probability of reaching the client’s goals.

• We provide insights on what really matters in the markets and economy, to save advisors time and help them better educate clients.

Our distinctive Asset Class Investing philosophy provides you with the time and resources to focus on what matters most—enhancing your advice and serving your clients. Not only is this the right thing for your clients, we believe it is a smarter way to run your practice.

Loring Ward offers a wealth of service, support and solutions. But we think the most important way we make a difference for advisors is helping you create better client experiences.

It is that simple…and that profound.

We can help you rediscover why you became an advisor in the first place. Working together, we can help make your practice more efficient, effective and most importantly, enjoyable – for you and your clients.
