  • What the Oil Futures Market Reveals About the Iran Conflict

  • U.S. National Debt: Is the Debt Really the Problem?
    Is the U.S. national debt a problem? The answer depends less on the size of the debt and more on how it compares to the economy. Understanding the debt-to-GDP ratio can help investors focus on growth, productivity, and long-term sustainability rather than alarming headlines.
  • Private Equity and Private Credit: The Illusion of Stability
    Private equity and private credit are often marketed as stable, uncorrelated alternatives to public markets. But infrequent pricing, illiquidity, redemption gates, and complex fee structures tell a different story. GHPIA examines what investors should understand before committing capital to private market investments.
  • What Is Quantitative Easing?
    Quantitative easing is one of the most misunderstood tools in modern monetary policy. While it can stabilise markets during periods of crisis, it also distorts asset prices and risk signals.

  • Why We Favor Individual Stock Portfolios Over Mutual Funds
    GHP Investment Advisors often favors individual stock portfolios over mutual funds because they offer greater control, transparency, and tax efficiency. Unlike mutual funds, which can create unexpected capital gain distributions and embedded expense ratios, individual stock ownership supports customized portfolio construction and proactive tax-loss harvesting, helping improve after-tax outcomes over time.
