Some people play the game. We try to change it with an innovative and unique business model to help you and your family reach your goals and have enough money as long as you live.
We invest with you, not just for you. We place our capital alongside yours.

Monitor your changing needs to check the appropriateness of your current portfolio strategy.
BFM helps you diversify your wealth into selected mutual funds and ETFs after developing an effective asset allocation based on your risk profile. Your wealth will be well-diversified among domestic and foreign fixed income and equity funds, value and growth styles, stable value investments, real estate, and different currencies.
BFM makes recommendations to rebalance portfolios in order to maximize opportunities and reduce risk. We believe that the best investors are able to recognize their emotions and use them to their advantage.
If you already work with a financial advisor, we offer a second opinion with objective recommendations.
We believe in these fundamental principles:
- Invest for the long term. Don’t time the market
- Create globally-diversified portfolios that have historically reduced risk and improved return
- Minimize costs, taxes, and turnover
- Our investment strategies comes from rigorous academic research and are employed by major institutions
- Simple rules of thumb do not work for many people. Income uncertainty can be substantial, so a one-size-fits-all solution is unlikely to work

- To act in a professional and ethical manner at all times and for your benefit only
- To act with independence, objectivity, skill, competence, and diligence
- To communicate with you in a timely and accurate manner
- To help you build a solid financial foundation, and a framework for making better financial decisions
