Asset Management

Custom Strategy Fits Your Circumstances

Individual Investors

You want to enjoy life.  You want someone you can trust to look out for you and your family. 

You need your assets to last—no matter what the markets do.

Institutional  Investors

You oversee the investments of others.  They count on you.  You have fiduciary responsibility. 

You need prudent investments, prudently administered.  Not the flavor-of-the-month from Wall Street.

“Investment success is primarily determined by consistency and the avoidance of major losses of principal in the worst market conditions.”

Thomas J. Feeney, Mission’s Chief Investment Officer

“The first rule is not to lose.  The second rule is not to forget the first rule.”

Warren Buffett, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway

“When circumstances change, I change my view.  What do you do?”

John Maynard Keynes, Economist

Mission Accomplished

Making It Last.  No Matter What.

Jane was an independent, self-sufficient retiree when she came to Mission Trust in 1999. Mission Trust’s flexible market strategies helped her weather two stock market crashes and recessions, a near-collapse of our banking system, and the housing crisis. 

Financial markets shook, but Jane’s portfolio did not.

Jane is now over 100 years old and relies on her portfolio to support 24/7 medical care. As she looks back, Jane appreciates that Mission Trust has ensured that she had a strong financial base to support her. Worries gone, legacy preserved.

Income Where There Was None

A Tucson manufacturing company accumulated excess cash as the 2008-2009 financial crisis unfolded and the Federal Reserve dropped interest rates to zero.  The company’s CFO watched income evaporate.

Our outside-the-box thinking solved the problem.  Mission Trust negotiated directly with dozens of banks for higher interest rates and limited early withdrawal penalties on bank certificates of deposit.  The result?  Higher income, plenty of flexibility for changing investment conditions, and a safe net yield well above that of short-maturity U.S. Treasury bills.
