Ray and Terri Dicius launched TriSummit Investment Advisors to be a consultative investment information resource without influence from investment banking relationships, or from proprietary products. An independent platform, the TriSummit Investment Advisors premise is that all investors deserve objective, intelligent investment information. Ray and Terri bring Modern Portfolio Theory, based upon the work of the Nobel Prize winning economist Dr. Harry Markowitz, to the individual investors, and to small or medium-sized institutions and endowments alike. This is a focused (customized or strategic) method that seeks to reduce risk while optimizing performance.
With today's improvements in technology, any investor or fiduciary, regardless of portfolio size, should have the opportunity to access the same methods used by the large institutions and pension funds. We guide you through the process so that you can make logical, informed decisions tailored to your situation. A program tailored to your risk tolerance, time horizon and expectations can help you work toward meeting your goals.
