Dynamic Asset Allocation

Our Dynamic Asset Allocation methodology is a management process where portfolio managers add value by changing a diversified portfolio's asset mix - of domestic or international stocks and/or bonds, of larger and smaller capitalization, growth and value stocks, and of different bond types, REITs, alternate investment classes. We subject portfolios to tactical asset adjustments in response to investors' Investment Policy Statement, correlation of asset classes, economic and market conditions in determining the mix of stocks and bonds in a portfolio.

Montecito Capital Management does not simply employ a Top-down / Bottom-up process, rather we blend all factors pertinent to the investors' goals/objectives with an optimum financially engineered portfolio composition. As such, allocation adjustments are made as frequently as necessary, reflecting both the investors risk tolerance, return requirement and individual constraints juxtaposed with the manager's interpretation of changing economic and market conditions and judgment as to asset types and sectors most likely to do well under evolving and volatile market conditions. Investor accounts also generally include allocation collars that limit portfolio concentration and risk.

Montecito Capital Management adjusts the asset allocation mix during periods of mis-valuation, evaluating the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income markets through traditional value, growth and sentiment measures, in a disciplined, risk-controlled framework Index-underlying strategies are employed; thus, returns come solely from asset class and country selection. The overriding mandate for this matrix paradigm, however, is dictated by Modern Portfolio Theory and Markowitz's efficient frontier of asset classes.

Our services are not just a random walk approach, but rather a science of value-added applications of all current financial investment standards to derive the optimal portfolio customized for each individual. In short, it is quite a dynamic and technical process that is perhaps more time-intensive than selecting individual securities and ultimately yielding what we deem to be a far safer, cost effective and richer performing portfolio.
