Founded in 2010, Skyline Capital Management® leverages the investment management and financial acumen of Dr. Geoffrey VanderPal.
The firm, which is a full service, fee-only investment advisory firm, employs methods of risk reduction, principal preservation and growth that were developed under the scrutiny of an academic environment and then proven in the span of a decade in a real-world investment climate.
The VanderPal Method™ enables clients to receive capital gains in upward or downward moving markets, while protecting up to 100 percent of the clients principal in FDIC insured bank Certificates of Deposits (CDs) or short-term U.S government bonds. Over time, the gains earned and recognized from market participation are reinvested back into the principal amount maintained in FDIC-insured bank CDs or short-term U.S. government bonds. This creates a ratchet effect, locking in gains to provide more principal value. This program allows for significant principal preservation, liquidity of funds and participation in the gains of more than 1000 stocks and dozens of indices.
Skyline believes service and communication also play an integral role in a registered investment advisor’s decision on where to put their client’s funds. To that end, we provide customers with a dedicated, private, toll-free number, ensuring that they’ll receive prompt service from Skyline’s professionals.
