With this purchase, Griffin
Capital Essential Asset REIT now has nearly $ 500 million in 17 diversified assets located in different geographical locations and across various industries.
By contrast, there are other firms, such as Personal
Capital and my firm, Rebalance IRA, where we have similar investment philosophies and similar use of technology, but we have real, live investment advisors who deal extensively with clients and match them with the right
asset allocation, low - cost underlying portfolios, very low cost, and disciplined rebalancing, which is really an
essential risk management and return tool.
