The
answer to this question, we believe, is choosing an investment
that has produced the highest returns while experiencing low
volatility. In selecting investments, many investors become
fixated on performance, often ignoring money management. Prudent
money management or low volatility, in our opinion, is equally
as important as performance and is a vital factor when
evaluating an investment.
The problem, though, is just because an investment
experienced high returns and low volatility in the past, this is
no guarantee it will continue in the future. In any
non-guaranteed investment, there are no guarantees; there are
only probabilities. What are the factors that can best determine
the probability of success of an investment? We believe the
answer lies in the investment's performance, credentials,
experience, and versatility.
When a high-powered business executive or superstar athlete
gets paid millions of dollars a year, it's primarily based on
their credentials, experience, and past performance, with the
expectation but without the guarantee their performance will
continue to repeat itself in the future.
In the same vein, we believe when an individual selects an
investment, it should be based on the investment's credentials,
experience, performance, and versatility. The better the
advisor's credentials, experience, performance, and versatility
are, doesn't it stand to reason that the higher the probability
of success will be for an investor to be successful?
Using the "probability factors" of performance,
credentials, experience, and versatility, we don't know of a
better investment than with Max Ansbacher.
