Business Philosophy

Pillar’s philosophy or “discipline”: 1) Capital Markets allocate better than managers. While the pricing mechanism is not perfect – it's closer to perfect than any manager will consistently be. 2) Asset Allocation explains returns: Your returns as an investor are the result of the asset classes you own. 3) Returns are correlated to risk: No two investors are alike. Factors which can reduce risk are diversification and targeted asset class exposure. 4) Eliminate/reduce costs which do not translate into value. Pillar's primary role is to match your unique circumstances to a portfolio of assets which is most appropriate
