Investment Management

Portfolios designed for high incomes, career volatility, and the transition to retirement income.

Overview

Your investment strategy should reflect how airline pilots earn, save, and retire. High incomes compressed into a career with a defined end date require a different approach than a typical accumulation strategy.

I manage portfolios designed around the realities of airline life — variable pay, career concentration risk, and the critical transition from building wealth to drawing retirement income.

What’s Included

  • Portfolio construction — Diversified, evidence-based portfolios tailored to your risk tolerance and timeline
  • 401(k) optimization — Maximizing returns within your airline’s available fund options
  • Tax-efficient placement — Putting the right investments in the right accounts (taxable, tax-deferred, Roth)
  • Ongoing rebalancing — Systematic portfolio maintenance without emotional decision-making
  • Transition management — Shifting from growth to income as retirement approaches

Why Work with Me

I don’t sell products or earn commissions on investments. As a fiduciary, my only incentive is growing and protecting your wealth. I use low-cost, institutional-quality strategies — not expensive actively managed funds that eat into your returns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your investment approach different for pilots?

Pilots have unique income patterns — high earnings compressed into fewer years than most professions, variable pay from trip trading and premium flying, and a hard stop at age 65. I design portfolios that account for this compressed timeline and income volatility.

Do you manage my airline 401(k)?

Yes. I help optimize your airline 401(k) allocation within the available fund options, coordinate it with your outside investments, and ensure your overall portfolio is properly diversified and tax-efficient.

What's your investment philosophy?

Evidence-based, low-cost, broadly diversified. I don't chase hot stocks or time the market. I build portfolios designed to capture long-term market returns while managing risk appropriate to your timeline and goals.
