Portfolio Construction
At Permanens Capital, we seek to invest diligently and creatively, service clients as though they are family, be nimble and aggressive on behalf of clients, and demonstrate the humility to adapt when necessary. Permanens seeks both capital appreciation and preservation through the customization of each client’s asset allocation. We employ a holistic approach to portfolio construction, seeking quality investments at lower fees typically reserved for larger institutions, while effectively managing risk through diversification. Permanens provides institutional and family office clients a high-touch, custom-tailored asset allocation, constructed to match each client’s desired risk/return profile that aligns with their values and philosophies.
