For most big purchases in life, it's optimal to consider quality and value.
Investing is no different.
Silverlight’s “Quality at a Discount” style is rooted in common-sense and empiricism. We developed a proprietary algorithm that ranks securities by specific quality and value factors. Stocks that score well on our criteria have historically outperformed, with below-average risk.
The core of what we do is portfolio management—that’s why you'll hire us.
We also go a step further, though, by providing complimentary tools, strategies and coaching to help you manage your money and time more effectively.
We believe in thinking differently and inspiring our clients to do the same.
Silverlight’s President, Michael Cannivet, is a Forbes contributor and a columnist for RealClearMarkets. All clients have direct access to our research, resources, and Michael.
Silverlight is vertically integrated with our own in-house research process and strategy offerings. This uniquely scalable platform allows us to provide a more holistic client experience at a reduced cost.
