Investment Philosophy

Parish Investments manages client wealth in a fundamentally different way than the average investor. Our obligation to make prudent investment decisions on behalf of our clients requires a disciplined investment process designed to achieve competitive long-term returns while controlling risk. We replace emotion with the fundamental logic needed to make careful, rational choices.

Our investment philosophy is based on diligent research, quality long-term investments, tax efficiency and client communication. Our disciplined investment strategy can be successfully executed through various market cycles.

Four economic environments and asset allocation strategies are recognized by Parish & Company. The current environment as of August 2006 is defined as “balanced/conservative.”

Note that not all clients have the same goals, for example, some may desire a conservative portfolio during a period defined by Parish Investments as “growth.” In addition, past recommendations do not in any way guarantee the success of future recommendations.
