Wealth Logic, LLC is an hourly based Investment Advisory and Financial Planning firm that uses behavioral finance, logic, and data to develop a financial approach that will produce significantly higher real returns than most investors for their desired level of risk. We will also occasionally do fixed fee engagements for institutional reviews and expert witness testimony.
Core Beliefs
- First and foremost, we believe that most investors have the opportunity to double long-run real earnings by investing using logic rather than emotions.
- Similar to Belief #1, both logic and data support the notion that YOU GET WHAT YOU DON’T PAY FOR. Efficient investing is a critical component required to capture the higher real earnings mentioned above.
- We all have mental models that, without realizing it, create destructive behaviors that result in transferring our hard-earned wealth to others.
- Investing is simple and one must always keep the KISS (keep it simple stupid) principle in mind. No one cares more about your money than you. You can do it with a little effort and a little help.
- Most investors have low hanging fruit – opportunities to build more wealth with little or no additional risk.
