Investment Philosophy

At Whittier Advisors, our investment philosophy is anchored in three fundamental principles: invest in quality assets, diversify risk, and exercise patience with capital. We recognize that our high-net-worth clients often have multi-generational time horizons, allowing their capital to work across numerous market cycles. This long-term perspective enables us to invest in companies that make a meaningful difference in our lives, fostering growth and preserving wealth for generations to come.

Quality Assets

  • Most important risk to wealth accumulation is a permanent loss of capital
  • Owning high quality companies can help reduce that risk
  • High quality assets may better protect capital in down markets

Diversify Risk

  • Diversify risk across asset classes, sectors, industries and geographies
  • Diversification may help reduce idiosyncratic risk associated with any single company or asset
  • May help reduce the risk of permanently impacting a portfolio’s growth trajectory

Patient Capital

  • Take a long-term view on wealth creation; allows invested capital to work over multiple cycles
  • Seek to be a liquidity provider during times of market dislocations
  • Identify areas of market segmentation where we can act as an intermediary
  • Focus on client’s investment objectives
  • Manage liquidity needs
  • Strategic and tactical asset allocation
  • Balance sheet approach
