"No one can consistently predict investment price movements. Therefore, we do not make predictions, we react."

STRATEGY

The fundamental foundation of Newport's strategies is to be fully invested in the market when indications are positive and to sell or hedge when indications become negative. Controlling risk and downside protection are key components of the strategy. For more than 35 years, we've seen many crises and investment cycles. There is no substitute for experience.

 

One basic misunderstanding of most investment managers and personal investors strategies, is that somehow you must buy at the bottom and sell at the top to be successful in the market. That’s simply not likely on a consistent basis. The idea is to buy when the probability is greatest that the market is going to advance and step aside to cash or hedge when the probability is greatest that the market is going to decline. These are the core principles that Newport Investment Advisors, Inc. stands by, which has resulted in positive net of 1% fees historical returns 31 out of 35 calendar years (89%) or 119 out of 145 quarters (82%) as of 09/30/2024.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES

"There are two rules to investing;

            #1 Don't lose money.

            #2 Don't forget Rule #1"                     

 

Warren Buffett

 

​

Newport's Primary Investment Objectives:

  • Preservation of capital

  • Reduced risk and volatility

  • Outperform benchmarks and peers

 

The importance of avoiding major price declines becomes especially relevant during years such as 1987, 1990, 2000-2002, 2008, 2020, and 2022. These are the times when the average investor incurs severe losses and is forced to re-evaluate their investment strategies. 

​

INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

Newport Investment Advisors offers several investment strategies that meet the needs of a diverse client base. Please call us for additional details on these or any of our other strategies.

 

Flexible Bond

 

The Flexible Bond strategy is our longest established and most popular. It is designed to preserve capital while outperforming market indices and other bond fund managers. It is an excellent choice to balance a more aggressive portfolio. This program is also very popular for retirement plans, investors nearing retirement, and for more risk averse investors. The primary objective is preservation of capital and income. The secondary objective is capital appreciation. The results of this strategy consistently rank Newport among the top performing fixed income managers in the United States.

 

Flexible Equity

 

Similar to our Flexible Bond strategy, the Flexible Equity strategy incorporates a reactive allocation methodology. Utilizing top performing funds allows us to realize above market returns when invested. This strategy is appropriate for a slightly more aggressive investor who also considers preservation of capital an important component of a discipline. The primary objective is capital appreciation and above average returns. The secondary objective is preservation of capital.

Past performance is not a guarantee or a reliable indicator of future results. Investing in a bond market is subject to risks, including market, interest rate, issuer, credit, inflation, default, and liquidity risk. The bond market is volatile. The value of most bonds and bond strategies are impacted by changes in interest rates. Bond investments may be worth more or less than the original cost when redeemed. The return of principal is not guaranteed, and prices may decline if, among other things, an issuer fails to make timely payments or its credit strength weakens. High yield or “junk” bonds involve a greater risk of default and price volatility and can experience sudden and sharp price swings.

 

Please consider the charges, risks, expenses and investment objectives carefully before investing. Read it carefully before you invest or send money. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal and fluctuation of value. There is no guarantee that any particular investment strategy will work under all market conditions or are suitable for all investors. Investors should consult their investment professional prior to making an investment decision. All indices are unmanaged. You cannot invest directly in an index. Index or benchmark performance presented in this document does not reflect the deduction of advisory fees, transaction charges, and other expenses, which would reduce performance.

 

Fixed Income Securities Risk. A rise in interest rates typically causes bond prices to fall. The longer the duration of the bonds held by a fund, the more sensitive it will likely be to interest rate fluctuations. Duration measures the weighted average term to maturity of a bond’s expected cash flows. Duration also represents the approximate percentage change that the price of a bond would experience for a 1% change in yield. For example: the price of a bond with a duration of 5 years would change approximately 5% for a 1% change in yield. The price of a bond with a duration of 10 years would be expected to decline by approximately 10% if its yield was to rise by +1%. Bond yields tend to fluctuate in response to changes in market levels of interest rates. Generally, if interest rates rise, a bond’s yield will also rise in response; the duration of the bond will determine how much the price of the bond will change in response to the change in yield.
