    Security

    Security

    We separate the investment management function from the custody function. This means that the organization managing your assets and the organization holding your assets can serve as checks and balances on one another. This greatly reduces the probability of malfeasance.

    Authentic Investing

    The true essence of investing is not what you hear from the financial media or in the marketing campaigns from large Wall Street firms. Aggressive trading and hot stock tips generally result in losses or sub-par investment gains. Rather, real investing is about discipline, patience, and smart, deliberate strategies. We strip away the hype and focus on what is real.

    Straight Shooters

    Armbrust is a German word meaning “crossbow”. In medieval times, an armbruster was an archer or soldier armed with a crossbow. We don’t find much use for crossbows in our current occupation, but just like our ancestors, we aim to be straight shooters in all our dealings.
