Hartline believes that the expected return on equities should be commensurate with the amount of accepted risk. Risk and return are assessed through a systematic process of identifying equities with defined quality measures that are selling at appropriate valuations.

ArchPoint’s investment philosophy is founded on the principles of benchmark free, valuation intensive, real return asset allocation. The firm accomplishes their clients’ objectives through the application of value-oriented investment strategies and will reduce exposure or avoid asset classes if warranted by price and other relevant risks. They adhere to diversification to maintain flexibility to manage through uncertain economic times and with the goal of preserving capital. ArchPoint utilizes traditional public equity and fixed income investments but also completes their asset allocation through alternative investment strategies. The firm specializes in blending traditional and alternative investments to accomplish clients’ portfolio goals.
