AIM’s investment approach is grounded in value and focused on capital preservation.
Similar to Access Alternatives, AIM uses a value investment discipline. AIM analyzes each segment of the market with a longer-term orientation, and within all market segments and allocations, AIM seeks to identify quality assets that are attractively valued or inherently mispriced.
AIM uses a variety of equity, fixed income, and other investment allocations and strategies. Where appropriate, our team also utilizes proprietary / internally-managed strategies. Key considerations for client allocations include: client goals; financial objectives; and risk tolerance.
Access Investment Management’s approach is highly customized to the client with an overall objective of maximizing risk-adjusted returns.
