Today, we are an independently-owned, SEC-registered Investment advisor headquartered in Bountiful, Utah. We offer professional investment management to institutions, endowments and foundations, family offices, and individuals.
Today’s market can change rapidly, creating a higher awareness of and need for risk management.
Our goal is to position your portfolio for success. We believe its crucial for you to understand the risks in your portfolio, so it can better perform as you hope.

04 IDIOSYNCRASIES Evaluate company from all angles to uncover potential issues.
How much risk you should take in the market today depends on what’s happening in the market cycle. We consider which factors do well in an expanding vs. a contracting market, how each particular company might be affected - and so much more.
With a quantitative lens, we analyze both the potential for risk as well as total return for each investment. SGI’s multi-factor alpha model is unique; it has not one, but multiple optimizers that help build the portfolio that’s right for each investor.
Equally important are a company’s fundamentals and the risks that don’t appear in its numbers.
Our research professionals dive deep looking for the possibility of management changes, legal challenges, aggressive accounting, and other issues. We focus on uncovering these critical risks that can affect the ongoing life of a company and the impact they could have on your asset growth.
Finally, at SGI, we are committed to continually enhancing our process by adding factors, finding new data sources, and actively supporting our research team.
