Efficient Market Advisors tops $1 billion in assets
Achieves asset growth of 45% over one-year period
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Efficient Market Advisors (EMA) announced today that it directly or indirectly invests over $1 billion on behalf of investor clients and their financial advisors. EMA, a leading Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) strategist firm headquartered in San Diego, CA, credits this milestone and its record growth to the more than 453 US-based financial advisors who have chosen to allocate their client's assets to EMA's proprietary ETF strategies.
Since EMA's founding in 2004, the firm has focused on building lower cost, transparent ETF strategies on behalf of individual investors. "Back in 2004, our goal was to replicate the institutional consultant process of investing for retail investors through the use of ETFs. The ETF was a transformative financial product that made this possible," said Herb Morgan, Founder, CEO & Chief Investment Officer.
EMA further credits its success to the hard work and investment results of its investment policy committee (IPC), which emphasizes a combined strategic, tactical and opportunistic investment approach. "We are traditional top-down macro-economic oriented investors who have never been enticed by black-box quantitative strategies," said Morgan.
In the June 30, 2016 edition of the Morningstar Managed ETF Landscape report, EMA strategies received high rankings when measured by 5-year returns and selected risk statistics. In the US Balanced (Hybrid) category, EMA strategies were ranked #4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11,12,13 & 15 amongst their peers. In the US Equity (Hybrid) category, EMA strategies were ranked #1, 2, & 3, and in the US Fixed Income (Hybrid) category, EMA strategies ranked #5, 7, & 10 by Morningstar.
EMA's enviable track record and performance reporting integrity have certainly contributed to the firm's success.* "We are very grateful for the trust and confidence placed in EMA by over 450 financial advisors and thousands of investors," said Morgan.
