Ask Us About Our Investment Strategy Group

Sabal Trust focuses on protecting and preserving family legacies. Part of that effort involves maintaining control over the investment decision-making process. As a result, we do not outsource the investment decision-making activity. Our in-house Investment Strategy Group is responsible for developing the investment strategies used by our firm’s portfolio managers to benefit our clients and their families. This team is staffed with experienced research analysts who provide coverage of economic sectors, industries and individual companies within the stock and bond universes where we invest.

Accountable:

– Portfolio construction occurs internally within our local Investment Strategy Group.
– The research and selection of individual stocks and bonds that are part of our strategy, as well as the sizing and timing of trades also occurs locally.
– Portfolio decisions and investment rationale are discussed thoroughly among the team of +10 CFA Charterholders, including every client’s individual portfolio manager, who then implements the investment decisions according to each client’s individual circumstances
