Founders focuses on risk management when managing wealth. Risk management serves as a foundation for successful investment. We believe it is extremely important that investors understand the risks they are taking when investing in securities. It is important to directly match an investment portfolio to risk tolerance, as a mismatch can lead to volatility that is uncomfortable for our members. We invest in quality securities at the right price that will be held for a period of years. This allows Founders to monitor investments more closely than if they were in various mutual funds with constant changing positions, and will keep investment management fees lower. Founders has a different viewpoint, one that is rooted in seeking long-term value. Founders bases its investment practices on value-based investing. We are disciplined, making investment decisions only after we have thoroughly measured the long-term value of a stock and/or bond. We are agnostic to the market and its direction, and we apply a rational thought process when we acquire any security. Our goal is to purchase quality securities that will obtain the highest compounding yield over the greatest length of time, ensuring that we have a "margin-of-safety" on each individual investment. Founders will fully communicate with members, and assist them to achieve their investment objectives. We believe that members benefit from a fiduciary and due diligence standpoint, if they are able to have greater communication and commitment from the managers chosen to invest their funds. We are committed to keeping members informed of our investment choices and we will be open with our reporting, discussing the pros and cons of each of our investments. In this volatile, and often speculative market, we believe it is prudent to keep communication open and our members informed.
