Just Cause and Mantra

Our Just Cause and Mantra

Weaved into our nation's fabric and steeped in American values, there are many stories of American dreams that, through our efforts as financial professionals, have come true and more that have yet to be fulfilled. That is our Just Cause.

____________________________________________________________________________

American Portfolios will support its investment professionals in helping their clients achieve their American Dreams.

Nurture

Each and every day we will cultivate a thriving workplace, investing in our team(s) so they may realize their personal and professional dreams, all while instilling in them the desire and an ability to help others reach theirs.


Launch

We will set our sights high above the fray, questioning “why” and answering “how” at every turn for the benefit of our financial advisors and their clients, to deliver a spectacular customer service experience.


Give

As corporate citizens, we will make it our purpose—both narrowly and broadly—to constantly improve the lives of others and ourselves because, in a world of infinite problems and possibilities, dreams realized beget new ones.


Aim

With an eye toward a sustainable future, we will recognize the capital interests of every AP stakeholder—employee, advisor, client, community and shareholder—creating long-term well-being and value for all.


From the Chairman

From the Chairman

I thank you for the opportunity to introduce our company to you.

A Message from Lon T. Dolber

American Portfolios was conceived by a group of like minded, independent financial service professionals, committed to serving their clients by offering sound financial guidance or planning along with solid investment advice. The firm is owned and operated by individuals who have all worked with clients of their own. I started in the financial services field in 1978 when I was brought into the business by my father Hy Dolber.

As professionals, we will not tolerate or recognize any obligation to market the services or investment products produced by any single company. We understand what it means to seek out and to offer only the best products or services available, without conflict or compromise and this is the same commitment we make to our representatives.

The financial services industry is dynamic and evolving. Barriers have fallen and investors face an almost unlimited and often confusing variety of financial products and investment choices. We believe that financial professionals must have access to a diverse selection of unbiased and high quality investment products and services in order to best meet their client’s objectives.

I thank you for the opportunity to introduce our company to you. We are proud of what has been accomplished thus far and hope that our vision someday may be of benefit to you.

-Lon T. Dolber

2023

Second Quarter 2023 American Portfolios Quarterly Market Commentary

THE S&P 500 surged 8.7% in the second quarter of 2023, fueled by large technology stocks (Russell 1000 growth was up 14.4%). Growth outperformed value up and down the capitalization spectrum, although the economically-sensitive consumer discretionary space performed extremely well (up 16%) as concerns about a recession seemingly eased. This is also evident in the […]

American Portfolios Research Report: REIT Overview

THERE ARE FEW, if any, areas of the financial markets more impacted by interest rates than real estate. The cost of debt has obviously risen significantly over the past year, as well as defaults and loan loss provisions throughout the banking industry. This is most notable in the office sector, which has struggled to recover since […]

First Quarter 2023 American Portfolios Quarterly Market Commentary

THE RESILIENCE OF the equity markets in the first quarter of 2023 was impressive. Despite the Fed raising rates another 50 bps and signs mounting that a recession is brewing, the S&P 500 gained 7.5%, fueled by strength in Communication Services (+21.2%), Technology (+21.6%) and, surprisingly, Consumer Discretionary (+16.1%). Growth outperformed value by a significant […]

Fourth Quarter 2022 American Portfolios Quarterly Market Commentary

THE FOURTH QUARTER of 2022 failed to produce the Santa Claus rally we all had hoped for, but still, the quarter was solid and welcome after experiencing the dreadful returns in both equities and fixed income throughout the first nine months of the year. All of the major U.S. equity indices were positive, but there […]

Third Quarter 2022 American Portfolios Quarterly Market Commentary

THE THIRD QUARTER of 2022 was another wild quarter, containing a huge equity rally that ranged anywhere from 13-18% in the U.S., depending on the index, only to have it all slip away into quarter end and close at year-to-date lows (down 2-5% for the quarter). The markets bounced back and forth between concern over […]

Second-Quarter 2022 American Portfolios Quarterly Market Commentary

THE SECOND QUARTER of 2022 ended with a whimper and entered rare historical territory. The period marked the worst first calendar half of S&P 500 performance (fueled mainly by horrific 2Q performance, down 16.1%) since 1970. From a rolling six-month perspective, the period ranks in the worst 3% since 1926. Bonds weren’t much better as […]

First-Quarter 2022 American Portfolios Quarterly Market Commentary

THE FIRST QUARTER of 2022 was a wild one. Economic and market complications piled up to start the year, weighing on equity and fixed income prices. Equities were down double-digit percentages at its worst, but a late rally following the first Federal Reserve (the Fed) hike of the cycle allowed the S&P 500 to end […]

The S&P led all major equity categories for the quarter yet again with a gain of 11% and finished the year up 28.7% (about 70% from the end of the first quarter of 2020). Large-cap stocks led the way […]

Third-Quarter 2021 American Portfolios Quarterly Market Commentary

AFTER SEVEN MONTHS of a seemingly relentless climb in prices, the equity markets slumped in September. The S&P 500 pulled back nearly 5%, slumping into month-end, while the Nasdaq was down more than 5%. This was the worst month of U.S. equity performance since March 2020. For the quarter, both indices were basically flat while […]

First-Quarter 2021 American Portfolios Quarterly Market Commentary

THE ECONOMIC SWINGS that have taken place in the U.S. and globally during the past six months have been nothing short of mind blowing, with a U.S. GDP decline of 31.7 percent in the second quarter and an expected bounce back of at least 20 percent in the third quarter, and perhaps even topping 30 […]
