Hansen & Associates Financial Group
About US
Seasoned investment professionals located in Sacramento, California with over 30 years experience navigating investors and financial advisors through capital markets.
01. Strategy
Our strategy incorporates a systematic process to help mitigate risk and protect from downturns in the stock market – while still maintaining a long-term growth perspective on investing.
Our performance is rooted in a rules-based process that is always transparent, repeatable, and reliable.
02. Our Difference
We manage volatility and risk in a way that few strategies do. We strive for consistent positive performance and lower levels of volatility, which can offer numerous potential benefits:
- Reducing overall portfolio volatility
- Limiting losses in down markets
- Diversifying the sources of investment returns
- Improving a portfolio’s overall risk-adjusted return
03. To Your Success
When invested in a portfolio in real-time, volatility and drawdowns matter…a lot.
Minimizing these means that investors are more likely to stay the course when strategies inevitably go through a rough patch. That is why we focus as much on the drawdown charts as we do on the big gains.
Our Story
RIA Management Focus
President and Co-manager, Mark Hansen, noticed there was a lack of active asset management strategies in the market for advisors to offer their clients that really addressed volatility and risk to capital in poor performing markets. Along with his portfolio manager David Yelle, Mark started the development of proprietary tactical asset management strategies with a focus on managing risk effectively in all markets while seeking consistent long term growth.
The back-tested success of the strategies encouraged further expansion of Hansen & Associates to provide third party asset management services to other RIA’s utilizing the proprietary strategies, and became a primary focus of the firm.
Mark’s experience in the financial planning and investment advisory world and David Yelle’s portfolio management experience provides an ideal working relationship with registered investment advisors to optimize long term growth.
