Building Stability in an Uncertain Market
February 6, 2025
In the latest episode of The Wealth Enterprise Briefing, Michael Zeuner, managing partner, and Matt Farrell, Deputy CIO of WE Family Offices, address a challenge many investors face: how investors can approach decision-making during periods of uncertainty about the future. They explore how the Investment Policy Statement (IPS) acts as a guiding framework, helping investors align daily decisions with their long-term objectives.
Key points from this episode include:
- A foundational plan: How the IPS sets clear targets for asset allocation, liquidity needs and return expectations.
- Adapting to changes: Why quarterly and annual updates are essential to ensure the IPS reflects current family needs and market conditions.
- Guardrails for decision-making: How the IPS provides boundaries to manage short-term fluctuations without losing sight of the bigger picture.
- Understanding market cycles: Using the IPS to navigate economic shifts and maintain a focus on overarching goals.
Michael and Matt emphasize that the IPS is not a static document but a dynamic tool, designed to guide decisions and reduce uncertainty at every step of the investment process.
To explore these investment strategies and concepts in greater detail, listen to the full episode.
