He draws upon an array of competencies, and those of his colleagues, to create and implement customized strategies on their behalf. In each client relationship, he emphasizes the importance of delivering clear and timely advice and guidance—emblematic of the team's boutique-like offering.

To provide strong, risk-adjusted returns for clients across market cycles, Richard builds and manages each client's portfolio using equity, fixed income and derivative investments. He crafts and adjusts asset allocation using sophisticated models and selects from asset managers who are among the best in their class.
