We want to make your retirement dreams come true!

Our investment philosophy is based on the belief of investing for the long term. PACFS constructs portfolios that optimize or maximize expected return while reducing a given level of market risk, emphasizing that risk is an inherent part of higher reward. Our goal is to manage and decrease risks, while achieving consistent returns through the use of well-defined asset allocation models.

Thinking about the Future

We scan various asset classes and invest in funds that have outperformed their peers and benchmarks historically. We strive for competitive returns over time rather than attempting to catch the latest bubble in the markets. The key drivers of wealth accumulation are asset allocation, discipline, and time.
