Our Philosophy

Disciplined

We believe the most important decision is proper asset class selection and a highly disciplined, unemotional method of evaluating risk/reward potential across investment choices.

Exposure Matches Views

Our perspective is long-term, yet our process involves evaluating the underlying well-being of the market on an ongoing basis. We watch for indications of a shift in dynamics; when a change in reward/risk is warranted, exposure is adjusted as needed.

Flexibility

While all investment strategies are apt to experience periods of underperformance, to be most effective in a variety of market environments we believe flexibility is a key component. Our guiding disciplines combined with this flexibility helps to maximize our success.

Our Team

Sound strategies and proven investment models are nothing without the talented people to provide management and direction. The Leuthold Group is a close-knit team of experienced professionals, committed to superior investment solutions and exceptional client service.
