Wealth Management Services

Disciplined Strategy. Tax Efficiency. Smarter Outcomes.

A disciplined, systematic approach is at the core of Alamo Capital’s Wealth Management platform—designed to reduce costs, improve performance and manage portfolio risk. By focusing on asset allocation, we align your investment objectives with one of our carefully constructed models to help position you in the right place at the right time. Our strategy utilizes exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to represent various asset classes, providing cost-efficient and tax-aware exposure that forms the foundation of our approach.

Asset Allocation

A Proven Driver of Returns

Portfolio composition is central to our investment process—for good reason.

Research shows that asset allocation accounts for over 90% of the variability in a portfolio’s returns over time.

Grounded in modern portfolio theory, our models are designed to balance risk and return by incorporating non-correlated assets, aiming to improve performance and deliver stronger risk-adjusted outcomes.

Managing Risk

Risk is carefully monitored across all portfolios. We evaluate volatility and downside risk at both the asset class and portfolio levels. New asset classes are only added when they improve the portfolio’s expected return, reduce volatility or help mitigate potential losses.

Three key factors typically drive investment returns, each playing a distinct role in contributing to long-term performance:

Why We Use ETFs

Indexing and Passive Management

Index strategies often outperform active managers in many asset classes. Indexing through ETFs allows for broad market access at a very low cost.

ETFs are also highly tax-efficient, and we select those that closely track—or have historically outperformed—their respective benchmarks.

ETFs: A Cost-Effective Option

ETFs offer a cost-effective investment solution with low expense ratios and strong tax efficiency. Unlike mutual funds, they provide intraday tradability and eliminate the need to hold cash for redemptions, keeping portfolios fully invested and helping reduce overall costs.

Cost Control Matters

Costs vary by fund and advisor, but even small differences in fees can lead to significant differences in long-term returns. That’s why Alamo Capital does not charge commissions for trading ETFs within our Managed Accounts. Keeping expenses low is essential to helping your portfolio grow over time.

Align Your Portfolio with Your Priorities

Starting with a sizable portfolio or shifting from accumulation to preservation requires a plan tailored to your goals, preferences and timeline. Our advisors are here to help you build it with clarity and purpose.
