A strategic approach to managing and growing your wealth with investment plans built around your unique goals. 

Our Investment Philosophy 

Everyone’s goals are different; therefore, you should have options. Our philosophy centers on understanding what you want to achieve, then aligning you with the right portfolio to support those objectives through appropriate levels of risk and diversification. Your portfolio recommendation is based on your financial goals, income needs, and time horizon to create a strategy that is both flexible and resilient. 

Fiduciary Advice 

Some advisors are paid commissions based on the investments they recommend. That is not how we operate. Additionally, as fiduciaries we are required to place your interests first at all times and every decision we make reflects that responsibility. 

When you work with Vermillion, you receive guidance that is tailored to your life and your goals. Your advisor works closely with you to determine the right investment mix and strategy that supports your situation and will continuously monitor and evaluate your portfolio to suggest options that move you toward the results you want to achieve. 

Building a Portfolio 

Developing a strong investment portfolio requires thoughtful design and management. We consider all aspects of your financial picture to ensure your portfolio is positioned for long-term success, including: 

  • Asset allocation and diversification 
  • Risk management and rebalancing 
  • Asset location strategies 
  • Tax-efficient investing 

Tax Efficiency & Ongoing Oversight 

Effective investment management doesn’t end with implementation. We proactively monitor portfolios throughout the year, not just during annual reviews, to identify opportunities and risks as they arise. 

Our tax-aware approach incorporates strategies such as: 

  • Tax-loss harvesting to offset capital gains 
  • Strategic placement of assets across taxable and tax-advantaged accounts 
  • Mutual fund capital gain vs distribution evaluation
  • Year-round monitoring to ensure continued alignment with your financial plan 

This ongoing oversight helps you maximize after-tax returns and stay positioned for long-term success. 

Our Investment Management Process 

Investment management is more than choosing investments. It is a structured process that helps you understand where you stand today, where you want to go, and how to build a strategy that supports your long-term goals with clarity and confidence.

Discovery of Your Current Investments

We begin by gathering a complete picture of everything you currently invest in. This includes statements, portfolios, retirement accounts, taxable accounts, real estate, and any other investment you own. We review what you hold, why you hold it, how it has performed, and whether it still fits your life.
