Purpose | Passion | Planning

Within the context of changing markets, economies and tax laws, the team is objectively disciplined and keeps the plan solidly on track.

Investment Philosophy

Mission

Through purpose, passion and planning, The Lewis Group helps clients find the meaningful objective of their wealth. Whether the most valuable determinant is critical values, lifetime legacy, friends, family or community – the team’s mission is to build and protect wealth, and help families achieve their own vision of success and significance.

Values

The Lewis Group is passionate about building strong rapport with clients and recognizes trust is imperative in any relationship – especially in financial services. The Lewis Group fully appreciates the gravity of its fiduciary role and strives to provide the highest levels of service and confidentiality.

Investment Management Process

The Lewis Group has decades of investment experience through multiple market environments – bull markets, bear markets, economic recessions and even bubbles. The team’s client-centered solutions are a reflection of strategies incorporating global trends, values and most importantly, risks. Often “beating an index” is not a financial goal for families, and is irrelevant to decision-making necessary when investing toward a specific outcome, such as cash- flow objectives. Financial markets are complex; even broadly based diversified portfolios can, at times, experience volatility. The focus of every customized portfolio is to pursue a healthy rate of return while managing risk along the way to minimize draw-downs and major losses (which are defined by each client). Success in investing requires a disciplined process, conviction and a long-term view.
