  • Balanced Alternatives
  • Fundamental Leaders
  • Value Growth
  • American Resources
  • Retirement Income

Balanced AlternativesGlobal scarcity issues, overwhelming sovereign debt and looming inflation have led Bluemound and its sub-advisors to develop the Balanced Alternatives Strategy.  This core strategy is derived from the asset allocation ideas of Warren Buffett's mentor - Benjamin Graham.  Balanced Alternatives is designed to preserve purchasing power,  adjust for emerging risks and seek opportunistic growth.

Fundamental LeadersUsing a rigorous screening process we limit our universe of potential investments to "blue chip" companies that demonstrate a combination of financial strength, market leadership and honest management.  We seek to buy stock at prices that offer a margin of safety and opportunity for growth.

Value Growth

Value Growth capitalizes on the high growth and value prices that smaller under-followed companies offer. This all-cap approach offers both capital appreciation and risk management for the longer term investor.

AmericaThis strategy is designed to benefit from America's vast advantages in the resources necessary to sustain standard of living globally.  As Kirk Spano discusses in his articles, upcoming book and at The American Resource Boom Letter, it is these advantages that will lead to America's next boom.
