Investment Management in Mobile, Alabama
A disciplined, risk-aware approach to portfolio construction, aligned with your goals, your time horizon, and your tolerance for risk.
By James Mitchell Ollis III, Financial Advisor | CRD# 1127198
Investing is not about chasing returns. It is about building a portfolio that gives you the best possible chance of reaching your goals without taking more risk than you can tolerate or need to take.
Goals-Based, Not Model-Based
Our investment approach is goals-based. That means we start with a deep understanding of your objectives, your time horizon, your values, and your tax situation, and then we design a portfolio that is unique to you.
We do not believe in one-size-fits-all model portfolios. Instead, we combine active and passive investment vehicles from both proprietary and third-party managers, chosen specifically to align with your goals and preferences.
What That Looks Like in Practice
- Strategic asset allocation. A purposeful mix of asset classes that unites long-term views with a robust design, intended to help you achieve your goals across a variety of market environments.
- Portfolio construction. We identify your objectives, then move through portfolio construction, ongoing asset allocation and risk management, and investment realization. We draw from a broad range of investment strategies and asset classes, including equity, fixed income, and alternative investments.
- Risk management. We monitor risk at the portfolio level and make adjustments as your circumstances change. We do not make changes because of headlines.
- Cost consciousness. Every basis point matters over a 20- or 30-year horizon. We are deliberate about the fees embedded in your portfolio.
“We help clients manage concentrated positions, whether from company stock, a business sale, or an inheritance, and transition those assets in a tax-aware way over time.”
What You Receive
- Goals-based investment policy statement that anchors every decision
- Custom asset allocation and portfolio construction
- Ongoing monitoring, rebalancing, and reporting
- Concentrated position management for company stock or business proceeds
- Access to active and passive vehicles across asset classes
Investment Management Questions We Hear in Mobile
How do you build a portfolio?
We start with your plan: what the money is for, when you need it, and how much volatility you can live with. The portfolio is built to serve those goals rather than to chase a benchmark.
How often is my portfolio rebalanced?
We monitor portfolios continuously and rebalance when allocations drift meaningfully from target, while weighing the tax cost of each trade.
Can you help with a concentrated stock position?
Yes. We help evaluate the risk of a large single holding and plan a gradual, tax-aware approach to diversifying it.
Do you guarantee investment returns?
No. All investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Our focus is managing risk and keeping your portfolio aligned with your goals.
