Please consider risk profiles and model mapping along with any cash management needs for your SCI clients as we move toward the SCI Quarterly re-balance.
If a client needs to make a model change or any upcoming cash distribution requirements, please let us know.
Last Week’s Call…
If you missed last Tuesday’s SCI call you missed a great opportunity to learn about some of the ‘behind the scenes’ analysis carried out by SCI and Sortino Investment Analytics.
Jim Kaffen’s analysis of LSIA’s top funds, ranked by AUM, revealed some very interesting data about some of your favorite funds.
One of my favorite Daniel Kahneman quotes is this:
This quote reminds me of an important mental error we make as advisors when constructing client portfolios. In last week’s call, Jim Kaffen spoke on why some funds make it into our quarterly solution, and also why you should be considering more than just the number of stars beside a fund’s name when making portfolio decisions. He was spot on.
Salt Creek’s methodology is forward looking, trying to identify future performance opportunity.

LaSalle St. Investment Advisers (“LSIA”) does not guarantee that the information or descriptions supplied about the Program are complete or timely. LSIA makes no warranty with regard to any results obtained from the Program or its deployment. LSIA is not responsible for any direct or incidental loss incurred by relying on information provided about the Program. The allocations presented herein are illustrations and completely hypothetical. None reflect actual investments or investment results and do not reflect allocation of any individual portfolio. Asset allocation and its results vary over time. Other allocations or asset investment categories not offered in the Program may have characteristics similar or superior to those illustrated. Past performance of any model or allocation is no prediction of future results. Neither the Program nor any system/model can predict the future of any market or price movement in a market. Diversification and asset allocation do not guarantee against the risk of investment loss, including risk of loss of principal. Information provided regarding the Program is as of the date of publication and may change at any time without notice. Information has been included which was obtained from third parties and is believed to be reliable and complete. LSIA does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of such information. LSIA is a registered investment advisor and does not provide tax, accounting or legal advice ‒ the information and/or descriptions provided do not constitute such advice. More information regarding LSIA and its investment strategies can be found in the LSIA brochure, ADV Part II, which is available online or through LSIA. Asset allocation may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to invest, potential participants should consult with an investment adviser to determine an appropriate investment strategy and methodology which meets the investor’s specific financial needs, objectives, goals, time horizons and risk tolerance. The information and description provided herein has been made without consideration of any investor’s particular suitability for investing in the Program. Asset allocation also involves investment in various asset classes which are not insured by the government. Investing in fixed income and/or high yield securities involves additional concerns including interest rate risk, credit risk and reinvestment rate risk. Investing in securities outside the United States may entail greater risk than investing in domestic U. S. markets. These risks typically include political and economic uncertainty of foreign countries as well as currency exchange fluctuations, including foreign currency exchange rates, political risks, different methods of accounting, financial reporting and foreign taxes. The prospectus accompanying a security should carefully be reviewed before investing. The services described herein are available to persons residing in any state where they would otherwise be contrary to local law or regulation.
