Q: When does AVH Invest recommend changes to my accounts?
A: If something in your situation causes a desire to take more or less risk with your investments.
If something changes with a manager we hire which causes us to recommend a sideways shift in your portfolio to a new manager.
If the market pricing is such that anomalies occur causing us to recommend minor fine-tuning changes to take advantage of those price moves.
Typically, we might recommend one or two minor changes per year or no changes for a year or two. It depends on the three factors listed above. We make changes when they are deemed in your best interest, not just for the sake of making changes.
Q: What do you do with my account if the market crashes?
