PRUDENT PORTFOLIO DESIGN

Actively Re-balancing Risk. Our primary goal is the preservation of capital. When markets are priced above what we deem their long term fair value, we prefer to reduce the amount of capital at risk in those markets and reallocate a portion of our clients’ portfolio to other strategies. One such strategy is holding cash. Cash reduces the risk of a portfolio and maintains ‘dry powder’ to reinvest when opportunities improve. In addition to holding cash, we have created an absolute return fund that seeks to earn a reasonable return regardless of what is transpiring in the markets. When paired with cash holdings, we aim to lower the risk of a major market loss while

continuing to earn a reasonable return.

DISCIPLINED, LONG-TERM THINKING

Avoiding Emotional Decisions. We believe that using a valuation framework is critical in avoiding our emotional and behavioral biases that can influence investment decisions. The framework gives us the ability to objectively examine today’s markets (equities, fixed income or any other) relative to reasonable, long run expectations. We decompose markets into the three components that form the basis of all returns; income, growth and valuation. We examine each independently with the goal of gaining considerable insight into current market conditions and position our clients portfolios most

appropriately.

Founded in 2017, Raintree Wealth Management provides the next level of service to clients by building on the values, foundations and principles established by Raintree Financial Solutions. Designed for clients with a minimum of $100,000 of investable assets, Raintree Wealth Management offers clients what we believe is the highest standard of investment management.

Raintree’s investment beliefs are rooted in disciplined and long-term thinking. When we constructed our investment platform, we started with the big picture and decided what really mattered in the long run. We believe: • Markets are short-sighted so taking a long-term perspective is

critical to investment success• Markets swing above and below their long-term average• Markets are driven by the behavioural biases of investors

Our beliefs have helped form the methodology we use to manage our clients’ portfolios. Our clients have forced us to find different and innovative solutions to the challenges facing investors today. From our beliefs, we have created an investment platform that seeks to: • Provide stable returns over the long run• Limit large losses in our clients’ portfolios• Limit our own behavioural biases

These are our goals and should not be mistaken for guarantees. We’re proud to provide our clients with clear and honest advice. Risks are inherent in investing and returns will fluctuate. We encourage all of our clients to review the risks in detail with their Portfolio Manager before investing.
