Mid Atlantic Welcomes Howard Capital Management
Howard Capital Management, Inc. (Howard CM), an SEC-Registered Investment Advisory firm, provides money management services for private clients, brokers, broker-dealers, and hedge funds. The vision for Howard CM originated during the 1987 stock market crash. With the opinion that incurring financially devastating losses due to market volatility is unnecessary, the firm initiated a plan to create a company with the main objective being to protect capital during market downturns. After years of research, Howard CM developed a disciplined, systematic, and non-emotional method of investing designed to protect client assets during market declines. In 2000-2002 as the market dropped, the firm reduced its clients’ exposure to stocks through its systematic method. In 2008, Howard CM’s proprietary intermediate term indicator, the HCM-BuyLine®, again gave the company the signal to exit the stock market. Consequently, the firm moved to the safety of the sidelines during much of the decline. Offering professional money management since 1999, Howard CM has developed into an experienced money management firm with a proven track record. As the firm continues to grow, it looks forward to using its systematic approach to assist with investment goals.
