Creative Planning uses cyclical and fundamental analysis in formulating investment advice. The firm allocates the client’s portfolio in such a manner that balances their long-term growth needs with enough stability and security for the short-term to prosper in any market conditions. They look for investments that are low-cost, transparent, tax-efficient, generally pay income, and have the highest probability of being the best performing asset in the space, avoiding assets that are likely to underperform due to high costs or tax inefficiency, such as hedge funds or annuities.

HWA seeks to diversify a client’s investment portfolio across various asset classes consistent with a client’s financial goals.
