Stop Relying on Outdated Portfolio Models. Start Using Time-Segmented Planning.

The Quotient Advisor Strategy helps advisors build and manage portfolios aligned with client needs—retirement income or wealth goals. Built on The Bucket Strategy®, a 35-year proven approach backed by research and used to manage over $2B in assets.

The Problem with Traditional Planning

Most advisors still use the same approach for every client: one pie chart, one asset allocation, one hope that averages will work out.
Retirees forced to sell stocks during downturns, locking in permanent losses
Generic advice that sounds like every other advisor
Wealthy clients panicking during volatility because they don't understand the plan
Clients who abandon their strategy at exactly the wrong time
There is a Better Way

The Quotient Advisor Strategy®
Match Money to Time Horizons

Instead of one portfolio with one allocation, segment assets into time-based buckets:
For Retirement Income Clients
Liquidity Bucket
1-7 years
Safe assets for immediate spending—never sell stocks for groceries
Stability Bucket
8-15 years
Balanced investments that bridge to long-term growth
Growth Bucket
15+ years
Equities left untouched to compound and recover from any downturn
Protected Income
Safe assets for immediate spending—never sell stocks for groceries
Alternatives
Non-correlated assets for enhanced diversification
Results
Retirees who sleep well knowing their first 15 years are protected, giving you permission to keep growth assets fully invested.
For Wealth Management Clients
Liquidity Bucket
0-3 years
Cash for emergencies and immediate opportunities
Stability Bucket
3-7 years
Balanced investments that bridge to long-term growth
Growth Bucket
7-15 years
 Diversified equities for medium-term accumulation
Aggressive Growth
15+ years
Concentrated positions and high-conviction strategies
Results
Affluent clients who understand exactly why they own what they own, aligned with specific goals and time horizons.
