At Shorepoint, we’re committed to fundamental analysis. Under the leadership of our co-founder, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer Luis Raposo, CFA, we rely on our in-house research expertise for all investment decision-making. Our investment team understands every security we hold in our client portfolios and why we hold it.

Unlike many financial advisory and investment management firms, we prefer to invest in individual stocks, particularly in the large-cap U.S. equity market.

Direct investment in stocks has several benefits for our clients. It allows use to fine-tune portfolios in order to better:

We also invest tactically in mid-cap, small-cap, international and emerging market equities, using stocks, mutual funds and other vehicles, as necessary.

In general, we favor stocks in companies that exhibit steady growth potential in all market environments and are positioned to take advantage of broad market and demographic trends like emerging technology and growth in consumer spending.
