Non-Emotional Investment Strategies
Building portfolios for the long-term is serious business, and we treat it as such. When making investment decisions, we remove human emotion and personal biases by relying on systematic, data-driven processes—not gut feels or news headlines.
Here are some of the in-house investment strategies we use to construct your custom portfolio.
Dividends Strategy
For investors who want their portfolio to work as hard as they do by delivering income now while keeping an eye on potential growth over time.
Growth Strategy
For investors who are trying to harness the innovation of long-term growth-focused companies that are also fundamentally strong.
Core ETF Strategy
For investors who want a globally diversified, momentum-aware portfolio that is actively managed but cost-conscious.
Tactical Bonds Strategy
For investors who want their fixed income exposure to be smart, flexible, and globally aware.
Strategic Income Strategy
For investors who need a multi-asset strategy focused on generating high levels of current income from a variety of liquid asset classes without the tax complexity of K-1s.
Tax-Rebalanced Index Optimized (TRIO) Strategy
TRIO accounts track an index with individual stocks and seek tax-loss harvesting opportunities.

mini Case study
When the Rent Checks Stopped Coming In
For years, Samantha and Luis O’Connell had been building wealth through real estate, among other investments.
The rent from their real estate properties generated steady cash flow, which meant they didn’t need to touch their investment portfolio…
That freedom allowed us to keep their portfolio focused on long-term growth. The rental income gave them the freedom to live the lifestyle they desired, including a few trips overseas each year and putting their two daughters through college.
Then opportunity knocked: the chance to sell their entire real estate portfolio for a significant lump sum. Suddenly, their financial picture shifted. The cash flow they’d relied on from real estate was no longer in play—now they needed their portfolio to generate income without losing sight of long-term growth.
The team at Monument modeled the new scenario and helped them adjust their investment strategy to account for the new influx of assets. We reallocated their portfolio to create a reliable income stream while still keeping a portion of the portfolio growth oriented for the long-term.
The strategy shift helped The O’Connell’s move forward, confident that their new plan would help support their goals: generational wealth, traveling abroad, and education funding for their family.
