Advantages of IMAs

A Doctor’s Case against Mutual Funds

By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA CMP

Publisher-in-Chief

The case against Mutual Funds [MFs], and in favor of Individually Managed Accountants [IMAs]:

  • No unrealized capital gains
  • The ability of the physician-investor to dictate or organize a portfolio around current stocks
  • The manager is not obliged to buy additional securities, no matter how much money pours in
  • The physician’s portfolio is not subject to a pooled mentality
  • A physician-investor can own a specified number of securities without over diversifying
  • Lower fees and Lower commissions as portfolio grows
  • Ongoing customization in step with world trends
  • Hands-on or hands-off philosophy, as the investor prefers
  • Custom diversification blend-in strategies for low-basis stocks
  • Individual doctor recognition as to tax consequences.
