At Oak & Stone Capital Advisors, we understand that the market and economy operate in cycles, and that’s why we focus on what we call Market Cycle Sector Rotation. These cycles consist of distinct stages, including recession, recovery, growth, and late stage. Importantly, each phase presents sectors that outperform others.

For instance, during a recession, when individuals are cutting back, consumer staples (essential items like food and toiletries) tend to perform better than consumer discretionary goods (luxury items like vacations and entertainment). We capitalize on this historical alpha by strategically exposing a portion of your investments to these high-performing sectors, unlocking potential for enhanced returns.

Due Diligence with Unparalleled Insights

We are committed to thorough due diligence at Oak & Stone Capital Advisors. Our team meets with every major fund manager, including industry giants like JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, PIMCO, Invesco, and Blackrock, on a semi-annual basis, at the very least. By constantly re-evaluating investments in light of market changes, we ensure that our strategies remain effective and aligned with evolving market conditions.

Additionally, we stay up to date with global events, seeking out investments that can yield better results for our clients. Should you or your clients have specific inquiries about individual stocks, we provide research and insights that enable you to discuss these companies within the context of the investment models they are invested in.

Maximizing Wealth, Minimizing Taxes

We understand the importance of tax considerations when managing non-retirement accounts. At Oak & Stone Capital Advisors, we handle these accounts with meticulous attention to tax ramifications. With every trade, we “white glove” these accounts, taking into account potential gains that may be triggered. If we determine that a large gain is not worth the trade to a new fund, we will recommend retaining the original investment.

Moreover, we avoid investing in funds with significant announced capital gains at the end of the year. We believe that it is unfair for clients to receive a large pass-through gain without enjoying the benefits of growth throughout the year. Therefore, we wait until the gain is realized before investing your client’s money. Throughout the year, we proactively identify tax loss harvesting opportunities to help your clients’ offset taxes, optimizing their overall financial position.
