I hear a lot about tax efficient investing, what is it, and are your portfolios tax efficient?

Tax efficiency is expressed as a percentage. It measures the fraction of overall investment gains retained after income taxes are paid. Typically, a 39.1% marginal tax rate is used as a standard benchmark. We manage our portfolios with the objective of total performance. Our low turnover investment strategy reduces the frequency of taxable events, making our tax efficiency higher than most actively and passively managed equity portfolios.

Martin Capital has a high percentage of tech stocks, isn't that risky?


I like your investing style, but I would like to take a less aggressive approach. Can you assist me?

Yes, we have a number of different portfolio styles that we offer. Our Balanced Portfolios and Conservative Portfolios are two options that are available with substantial fixed-income components that reduce the volatility of the equity portions of the portfolios.
