We are a team of engineers and investment professionals. We built portfolio management software for some of the largest asset managers and traded $6 billion daily for the largest pension funds.3
Our portfolios target an employee’s personal risk profile. This makes it more likely they stay invested and experience higher investment returns in the long run.
We select the best fund for each asset class based purely on merit, and with the employee’s best interest in mind. Because we don't engage in revenue sharing, we have no conflicts of interest.
Employees get live education annually and personalized spending projections, shortfall tracking, and savings advice directly in their accounts.
Typical return of 3.17% as calculated by DALBAR. OctaveWealth return is estimated by adding outperformance for the listed portfolio features.
Portfolio allocations drift as prices move. We use rebalancing to reduce risk, which increases returns in certain market conditions. Estimate based on Unconventional Success by David Svensen.
Traditional retirement portfolios invest in three asset classes: US Equity, US Debt and International Equity. OctaveWealth portfolios are diversified across 9 asset classes. Simulations of both approaches show diversification adds 0.6% on average.
We don't chart percentage fees based on assets managed because they erode invesment growth. We estimate a 1.00% saving when compared to typical small plans that charge 1%-1.32%. (Centre for American Progress).
On average, an index investment style beats active investment management after fees. Estimate based on S&P Active Versus Passive Scorecard (SPIVA).
Investors often try to increase growth by timing the market. On average these decisions negatively impact returns versus a buy-and-hold approach, this is called the Behavior Gap. Estimate based on Friesen & Sapp.
