BOS engages in a disciplined, long-term investment approach and does not engage in short-term market timing in an effort to increase portfolio returns. The firm’s overarching goal is to develop investment strategies that provide clients with the highest probability of achieving their financial goals. Their investment approach starts with careful consideration of each client's financial goals, constraints, and risk tolerance. BOS then develops tailored investment strategies with the goals of generating competitive long-term returns and moderating risk. They prefer low-cost investment vehicles and emphasize an investment selection process that avoids conflicts-of-interest. The methods they use to analyze investments rely heavily on analytical tools and historical databases of securities prices that they have developed in-house.
