Our Approach

Investment Style

We tailor your investment portfolio based on our forward-looking market views and capitalize on opportunities around the world, taking into consideration your personal objectives and investment mandates.

​

COF's offers three model portfolios: moderate conservative, conservative and moderate aggressive. As of January 2024 each model portfolio consists of three asset classes - stocks, bonds and cash:

​

  1. Moderate Conservative - 45/45/10

  2. Moderate - 55/40/10

  3. Moderate Aggressive - 60/35/5

Team Approach

To address the daunting task of selecting from tens of thousands of securities globally, COF advisors employ an investment process that leverages our research team to help make sense of a complex and vast investment landscape.

Investment Philosophy

Our investment philosophy is the set of stewardship and financial principles that guide all of our investment decisions. It is rooted in our belief that God uses all things, like the economy and free markets, to accomplish His good and pleasing work. Our philosophy overlaps with Howard Marks' investment philosophy:

​

  1. Control Risk

  2. Focus on Consistency - Avoid Swinging for the Fence.

  3. The Benefits of Specialization

  4. The Importance of Market Inefficiencies

  5. Disavowal of Market Timing

  6. Macro-forecasting not Critical to Investing
