The REALM® Model
Retail Endowment Allocated Like Model “REALM”®
Mega brokers tend to be incredibly myopic. They focus on portfolios comprised mainly of stocks and bonds or just passive strategies. At Cinergy Financial, we expand and augment our clients’ portfolios by utilizing some of the Endowment Model philosophy consisting of three pillars – alternative, passive and tactical investment strategies. Our philosophy, better known as “REALM”, may include core investment classes comprised of real estate investment trusts, private credit, stocks, bonds, and absolute return funds. The endowment model strategy has historically outperformed traditional asset allocations*, and may help provide the possibility to protect against turbulent market cycles.
The REALM® Model Could Potentially Provide You The Following Benefits:
- Build Trust in the Financial Sector Providing Potentially Better Results with “5 Core Investments” versus “2 Asset Classes”
- Potentially Reduce Sequence of Return Risk Due To Less Volatility
- Potentially Provide Investors Higher Durable Income Sources (i.e., Safe Withdrawal Rates)
- Potentially Provide Equity-Like Returns With Bond-Like Volatility Based on Risk-Adjusted Returns
- Potentially Protect Investors from Things They Can’t Control Inflation, Taxes, and Government Intervention

The REALM strategy contains Alternative Investments which are speculative by nature and have various risks including possible lack of liquidity, lack of control, changes in business conditions and devaluation based on the investment, the economy and or regulatory changes. As a result, the values of alternative investments do fluctuate resulting in the value at sale being more or less than the original price paid if a liquid market for the securities is found. Alternative investments are not appropriate for all investors. No investment process is free of risk, no strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. There is no guarantee that this investment model/process will be profitable. Diversification does not guarantee profit nor is it guaranteed to prevent losses.
