Investment Firm Posts Strong Third Quarter Results

(Corte Madera — October 10,2008)  In the midst of a difficult investment climate, Quantum Capital Management, a Marin County money management firm, reported exceptional performance for the 3rd quarter and year-to-date results for 2008.

"The results of our disciplined investment process were particularly good given turbulent market conditions," said Quantum's chief investment officer Howard Aschwald, CFA. "Our equity portfolios significantly exceeded their indexes and managed to beat the vast majority of professionally managed portfolios as well."

Now, the need to adhere to a disciplined investment process becomes crucial. The majority of financial advisors/brokers do not actually manage investments themselves and lack a disciplined investment process. Dividing financial advice and investment decisions into two separate functions greatly increases costs and produces inconsistent returns.

"The financial advice may be good, but without an audited track record, how can the investor know whether that advisor can pick successful investments?" said Steve Bradley, the CEO of Quantum Capital.

While there is a large measure of fear in the markets, Quantum's perspective is much more constructive. "Eighty percent of the time, the market has recovered ALL of it's losses within twelve months of the bottom," said Quantum's chief investment strategist, Mat Johnson. "While we expect this recovery period to take longer, we can also see the market reaching 1700 (from its current 900) by June 2011."

Quantum Capital Management is a boutique money management company with an officially verified and audited track record. They specialize in combined custom financial advice with professional money management for individuals and families. This integrated approach results in more direct control over the investment process and lower overall costs for the client.
