Investment Management with Argent

By Argent Wealth Management, LLC on October 18, 2023

Our Investment Philosophy

At Argent, we believe the client comes first. All of our portfolios are custom built with a structure that we derive from getting to know our clients through a rigorous onboarding process. Our team follows a Large Endowment Approach where we combine traditional investments (ETFs, Mutual Funds, Stocks, Bonds) with Private Equity & Real Estate. We analyze markets from both a bottom up (stock picking) and top down (macro economic) perspective to form a complete picture of the investment environment. We follow consistent datasets to stay objective in our analysis.
