Asset Allocation

Beyond 60/40: Smarter Portfolios for Real Life

For decades, the “60/40 portfolio” of stocks and bonds was the standard. But today, those two asset classes often move in the same direction—rising and falling together—reducing the diversification investors rely on.

That’s why institutional investors like endowments and pension funds have long looked beyond public markets. They allocate meaningful portions of their portfolios to alternatives such as private real estate, private credit, and other income-generating assets that don’t move in lockstep with traditional markets. These strategies can help smooth volatility, protect portfolios during uncertainty, and create opportunities for higher long-term returns.

Growth

Investments designed to grow your wealth over time through price appreciation. These assets offer higher return potential but also carry higher risk and greater price fluctuations.

Preservation

Investments focused on stability and income. These assets aim to protect your principal and provide consistent cash flow, with minimal volatility.

Inflation Protection

Investments that help maintain your purchasing power. These assets often have intrinsic value or scarcity and can provide returns through both income and price appreciation.

Client Engagement

We view our initial meetings with you as the most important step in our process. Every piece of advice we provide is predicated upon our ability to understand and connect with you.
• Understand your risks, family and decision making process
• Help define what your wealth means to your family
• Determine goals for your wealth and your objectives
• Develop a holistic plan for your entire financial balance sheet

Financial & Wealth Planning

Wealth planning is essential in order to provide the most impact on transferring wealth to future generations or philanthropic endeavors. No amount of investment returns can overcome poor planning.

  • Plan for future liquidity requirements and cash flow needs
  • Create a giving plan if there are philanthropic areas of interest
  • Work with your advisors in tax and estate planning
  • Develop an investment plan that incorporates your estate and tax plan

Portfolio Construction

Portfolio construction is the process of understanding how different asset classes and their weightings impact each other, performance and risk. By taking a top-down approach based on risk tolerance and investment objectives, you then select the individual investments. This ultimately provides a better chance of meeting your goals with the level of risk and time horizon you are comfortable with.

  • Review current investment portfolio and how to transition with tax considerations
  • Customize portfolio recommendations for liquidity and income needs
  • Incorporate real and unique assets, business interests, or concentrated holdings into the overall portfolio mix

Performance Reporting

Our reporting technology allows us to communicate performance and valuations to custom goals and objectives.

  • Engage in performance conversations and accountability to index comparisons
  • Our online portal allows you to view and experience your portfolio
  • Feedback on how you feel about the portfolio and changes in value is critical to our ongoing portfolio construction
  • Constant discussion regarding changes to your financial goals

Ongoing Monitoring

We believe frequent conversations and regular formal reviews for each client's portfolio is essential to building a lasting relationship and mutual trust. Rebalancing the portfolio to meet strategic objectives, while recognizing the certainty of taxes, is always weighed against the unpredictable markets.

  • Disciplined rebalancing while being thoughtful about taxes
  • Provide market views against the backdrop of your portfolio
  • Engage with your tax and trust and estate advisors on future planning opportunities

(*Rebalancing/Reallocating can entail transaction costs and tax consequences that should be considered when determining a rebalancing/reallocation strategy.)

Tax-Advantaged Investing

One of the most powerful ways to grow and preserve wealth is through smart tax planning. At Sequent, we integrate strategies like Opportunity Zones, Roth conversions, and Oil & Gas investments into a bigger-picture plan—focusing on after-tax results, not just returns.

What makes us different? We don’t just look at performance; we look at the dollars that ultimately stay in your pocket. Because of our experience in alternative investments and wealth planning, we can identify and evaluate opportunities that fit into your broader portfolio. The goal isn’t just to minimize today’s taxes, but to build a long-term strategy that balances growth, income, and preservation across changing tax environments.
