FMA
FOCUS MANAGED ACCOUNT PORTOLIOS
The Focus Managed
Account Portfolio (FMA) is an asset management program
created by Focus Wealth Advisors LLC.. designed to help you achieve your financial objectives through sound investment strategy.
Proper diversification is one of the keys to long-term investment success.
Asset allocation is a system to diversify your investments. It is the process of spreading your assets among numerous investment
classes - stocks, bonds, money market instruments, real estate and other types of securities – and keeping them there
over the long term.
The FMA
process of asset allocation identifies the percentages of portfolio assets to be distributed among assorted investment
categories. Your portfolio will be reviewed quarterly and rebalanced as necessary to ensure proper weighting of the various
asset classes. Rebalancing provides you with a disciplined approach for achieving continued long-term success.
In the past, rebalancing a portfolio may have generated large transaction
charges, thereby making this important process uneconomical for smaller investors. FMA
rebalances your portfolio when necessary without generating transaction costs or added fees, which could reduce your portfolio
returns.
THE BENEFITS
OF ASSET ALLOCATION TO YOU The
reason asset allocation works is simple: different types of investments tend to move in different cycles. Some reflect a profit
while others show a loss. Some go in the same direction, but not at the same time or at the same speed. Some move by larger
percentages than others. The proper statistically mixed portfolio of investments increases returns and decreases risk. In
the past, asset allocation was available to only the very biggest portfolios supervised by institutional money managers. Now,
FMA makes the benefits of asset allocation available to you.
FMA SIMPLIFIES
ASSET ALLOCATION FOR YOU The professionals
at Focus Wealth Advisors LLC. use a sophisticated computer program to design client portfolios combing multiple asset classes
with the intent of shielding investments from major economic changes. We begin with a comprehensive financial analysis. After

financial history, goals and tolerance for risk. Next, the FMA program creates an Investment Policy Statement to fit your individual needs; it will be the basis for your ultimate
portfolio structure.
