The portfolio review service offered by PIMS, Inc. is based on two powerful theories, the Efficient Frontier theory developed by Markowitz and the Arbitrage Pricing Theory developed by Ross.  Both of these individuals are Nobel Peace Prize winners for their contributions to investment theory and analysis.

Four services are offered:

  • Portfolio Review: Complete analysis with recommended changes relative to your investment objective and risk tolerance.
  • Portfolio Creation: A new portfolio is prepared using the information provided to us on our portfolio information request form.
  • Portfolio Maintenance: At the end of each calendar year quarter or as requested by Client, a complete review with recommended BUYS and SELLS will be e-mailed to Client.
  • Client Chooses Portfolio: Client chooses from a list of 21 standard portfolios developed, maintained, and backtested by PIMS analysts. Choosing this option saves Client 10 basis points as the PIMS fee for this service is 10 basis points instead of our normal 20 basis points fee.
