Investment Management
Ken McClure’s investment management philosophy is focused on creating diversified portfolios that balance risk and potential returns.

He works closely with his clients to understand their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and overall financial objectives, and develops tailored investment plans that align with these factors.
Asset Allocation
McClure’s asset allocation approach involves dividing a client’s portfolio into different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate. This helps to spread risk and increase potential returns. He uses a combination of active and passive management strategies to optimize portfolio performance. For example, McClure may use index funds or ETFs to provide broad market exposure, while also selecting individual stocks or bonds that offer strong growth potential.

| Asset Class | Allocation Range |
|---|---|
| Stocks | 40-60% |

Retirement Account Options
McClure helps his clients navigate the various retirement account options available, including 401(k), IRA, and Roth IRA accounts. He explains the benefits and drawbacks of each option, and helps clients determine which accounts are best suited to their individual circumstances.
