About Us Bills Asset Management is a registered investment advisor specializing in providing full time professional money management services in managing portfolios of no-load mutual funds and providing allocation services for CREF accounts. Our clients include individuals, associations, corporations, pension and profit sharing plans, and trust accounts. Many investors find that successful investing requires a tremendous amount of time and effort. They are too busy, lack current information, or just feel uncomfortable making investment decisions. If these investors adopt a buy and hold strategy, often they are forced to see their investment lose a significant amount during the large corrections in the market. With the "yo-yo" effect of the market, some become discouraged and park their money in low yielding guaranteed accounts. We follow the market on a daily basis and make those decisions necessary to provide a reasonable return while managing the risk of investing. We monitor your portfolio and initiate changes as required by the constantly changing market to limit the downside risk of the market. Our number one goal is to safeguard your principal and avoid those really bad times by actively managing accounts in order to achieve a respectable return. Sam C.
