Suncoast’s Portfolio Management
The portfolio management process plays a key role in terms of how our company manages risks.
It is our goal to help investors maximize returns, minimize risk tolerance, and accomplish their long-term financial goals. Our disciplined focus on investment diversification and long-term returns assists our clients in these efforts.
Diversification is a standard process that disperses capital to limit exposure to any one type of asset. To reduce portfolio volatility our advisors first work with you to understand your individual investment style and objectives and then identify the appropriate portfolio holding that are aligned. Our actively managed equity and fixed income portfolios provide effective diversification with a concentrated group of holdings that are deeply understood by our investment team. As Warren Buffet stated, “Diversification is protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you’re doing.”, research shows that the benefits of diversification are optimized at between 20 and 30 holdings. The longevity and knowledge within our company has positioned us to manage personalized client portfolios. Our Financial Advisory Team finds personalized investment opportunities that align with our clients’ objectives.

There are four types of Portfolio Management:
Our portfolio managers take an Active Portfolio Management approach. Suncoast Equity Management’s investment management team discovers promising stocks based on their criteria. Our portfolio managers have the discretionary authority to select stocks for the portfolio on behalf of clients. Our boutique firm can make portfolio decisions that serve in your best interest. We have helped many of our clients outperform the market, lower risks, and generate steady returns.
1. Active Portfolio Management
Portfolio managers actively sell and buy stocks & bonds using qualitative strategies.
2. Passive Portfolio Management
This is where portfolio management services build and manage a fixed portfolio of index funds like ETFs corresponding to current market conditions.
3. Discretionary Portfolio Management
Investors select portfolio managers to make financial decisions on their behalf based on their goals and level of desired risk.
4. Non-Discretionary Portfolio Management
In this case, portfolio managers only have the option to advise on the best investment plans, while the decision-making authority rests solely with the investors.
