How We Invest
Driving performance through superior portfolio design.
We believe it is possible to design portfolios to reduce downside risk without sacrificing long-term returns.
Risk Is Detrimental To Your Wealth
The sophisticated approach to risk management that we provide to our clients has the potential to generate higher long-term returns along with lower potential losses than more conventional portfolios.
Low risk portfolios outperform over time by losing less along the way…it is that simple.
The asset class allocation to stocks, bonds, commodities and real estate is traditionally determined by evaluating historical risk and returns. The asset classes with the highest historical returns get the largest weightings in the portfolio. This technique creates portfolios that are highly dependent on the performance of stocks. When stocks are not performing well conventional portfolios usually experience significant losses.
We determine asset class allocations for portfolios by evaluating how different investment strategies perform during varying financial market environments. We then assign many investment strategies to the portfolio making sure to include at least one strategy that performs well in each of the possible market environments that could be encountered. The final strategy allocation in the portfolio is then calculated based on each strategy’s risk and not historical returns so that each strategy contributes more equally to the total risk of the portfolio.
A risk-based asset allocation approach provides another unique dimension of diversification to a portfolio called economic diversification. Economic diversification is critical in reducing the size of potential investment losses.
We do not believe there is any evidence that discretionary security picking as an investment strategy adds value to a diversified portfolio. We use our expertise in markets to design comprehensive mathematical models for making evidence-based, systematic and repeatable investment decisions.
We design investing strategies with a rigid framework of trading rules that can be quantified to enforce consistent investment decision making that always seeks the highest probability of a successful outcome. Our investing expertise is therefore not used to do the impossible of predicting the direction of markets, but instead to design trading rules that are repeatable and consistently applied over long periods of time.

How we are different
Innovation and Proprietary Technology
3Summit was founded to provide the clients we serve with an alternative to outdated, conventional investment portfolios. The traditional investment advisory business model and investment capabilities cannot offer investors modern, efficient portfolios that deliver greater wealth accumulation with much lower levels of risk. 3Summit Investment Management was built over more than a decade of investment research and systems development to solve the limitations common within the investment industry. Investment research and technological innovation is at the core of our culture and make the high quality investment solutions we offer possible.
Proprietary Portfolio Management Software
3Summit specializes in constructing multi-strategy investment portfolios that cannot be managed with out-of-the-box commercial investment software. Therefore, we built proprietary portfolio management software to manage the sophisticated, customized investment portfolios we manage. Our technology sets us apart from more conventional investment advisors.
Proprietary Investment Strategies
We design and manage high quality, quantitative investment strategies that give our clients an edge in the financial markets. We research investor behaviors that drive price movements in the markets and construct systematic investment strategies to exploit the resulting market opportunities.
Thought Leadership
3Summit is an agile investment firm committed to both educating our clients and staying ahead of the ever changing financial markets. Our culture focused on research and innovation drives us to understand how financial markets work and continually adapt our technology and investing techniques. We freely share our investment research and philosophy that support the high quality investment solutions we deliver. We publish articles, produce quarterly Investing Insight papers, distribute a detailed client letter called Summit View and produce a podcast called Investing Insights for the Modern Investor.
Why trust us
You Deserve An Investment Manager Who Earns Your Trust
3Summit was founded on the simple belief that trust cannot be earned through talking points or service features. We believe trust can only be earned by structuring an investment management firm with only one incentive, to act exclusively in your best interest. We structured 3Summit to be accountable to our clients and to make that commitment easily verifiable.
