THE FUTURE OF WEALTH

The Avalon
Difference

Listen to our CIO Chris Rowe explain how the Avalon difference can give you the edge in any market.

What Makes Avalon So Different?

We Do Our Own Work

Not all brokers and advisors manage your money. Many of them are farming out your money for other people to manage. We’ve never done that and we never will. We manage all of your money in-house using the power of Relative Strength investing.

We Use a Better Lens

At Avalon, there’s no reason to feel in the dark – our Client Relations Managers are on top of it. Our team will establish your online account access for you to view holdings, values, and performance. You’ll see everything in a new light – with complete transparency.

We Are On Your Side

To understand which strategy or model works best for you, we start with a risk assessment. With your results in hand, we’ll know which plan is the right fit and makes you the most comfortable.

We Earn Our Money

We realize investing can be stressful and difficult – we take that pressure on so you don’t have to. We have a knowledgeable group of men and women who know exactly what has to be done, when it needs to be done, and how to do it. They are dedicated to making sure your experience with us is easy and stress-free. Our success is tied to your success and we don't prosper unless you do.

LEAD BY WHAT YOU BELIEVE

Our Guiding Principles

Without a core set of principles, success is always in doubt. That’s why at Avalon, we stick to a core set of 6 principles that yield consistent results for our clients.

Relative Strength

Relative Strength is the cornerstone of your success. It’s about being in the right global market and the right sectors of the stock market. It helps us find you the best, safest places to invest
your money.

Get the Most Out of Your Trade

The market is never an “either/or” ecosystem. There are options strategies we employ that suit any market scenario to generate a higher return than you’d get by simply owning a stock.

 

Group 73

Lower Your Risk

Most people think the secret to making a fortune in the markets is to win more trades than you lose. The real secret is to employ options strategies that let you profit more when you are right than you lose when you are wrong.

 

Group 74

Bullish and Bearish

The market is not a “bull/bear” world. Sure, there are times when you are one or the other. But there are times when we’ll help you take both bullish and bearish positions – it’s a smarter way to invest.

 

Group 58

Embrace the Dissonance

Most people are programmed to think “up market: good, down market: bad.” But we’re focused on finding situations with the highest probability of success to help your portfolio grow safely.

Cash Is Good

When you’re in cash, your risk is minimal. So if we can match the stock market’s performance while having your capital in cash for half of the year, we actually helped you do better than “the market.”

 

YOUR ADVANTAGE IS...

Our Leadership Team

Strategies, tools, and technology are powerful aids on your investment journey. So is having the right team of experts.
