ruleThe IBA Difference
Richard Cella, III and IBA pride themselves on being innovative leaders in the coordination of corporate retirement plan holdings and personal investment strategies. We create and monitor strategic asset allocation and/or tactical investment models using highly respected third-party research and analytical systems.

As a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), Richard believes in investment strategies rooted in fundamental values and the ability for his clients to share in corporate profits through stock dividends. We design portfolios that offer the opportunity to achieve market performance results while maintaining below average risk factors as identified by our investment monitoring and portfolio analyses systems1.

The strategy is based upon improving cash flow and then investing in long-term assets that also have good earnings potential and a higher degree of relative safety. The assets are selected for non-correlation. During high-risk periods in the markets, risk exposure is reduced to help preserve assets. Thus, clients could have more to invest and, theoretically, a better chance of meeting their performance expectation on their investments.

ASSET ALLOCATION RISK DISCLOSURE
Each asset class has its unique risks which are important to understand.

Cash Assets. Because of the inherent safety of cash instruments, yields tend to be lower than other higher risk investments.

Bonds Assets. Fixed income investments entail interest rate risk i.e. as interest rates rise bond prices usually fall, issuer default or credit risk, and inflation risk.

Large Cap Assets. Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

Mid Cap Assets. The value of securities of medium size, less well-known issuers can be more volatile than that of larger issuers.

Small Cap Assets. The securities of smaller, less well-known companies can be more volatile than those of larger companies.

International Assets. Foreign securities are subject to interest rate, currency exchange rate, economic, and political risks, all of which are magnified in emerging markets.
