The Return Your Client Needs — Not the Fund That Won Last Year

Loading player...
In this episode of the Platinum Portfolios Podcast, co-founder Mel Meltzer speaks about goals-based investing - and why choosing investments from short-term performance tables could lead clients away from their long-term financial objectives.



Platinum Portfolios’ multi-manager funds offer risk-managed solutions designed to achieve specific goals within appropriate risk limits.



The central message to advisers and private clients is simple: successful investing is not about continually identifying the latest winner. It is about following a well-designed strategy, protecting capital and allowing long-term compounding to work.
