Redfin operates a “Core Satellite‟ approach to the portfolio process as it believes this is a better way to achieve long term goals but still being able to seize upon more tactical investment opportunities. For long- term wealth generation it is critical to maintain a well-structured and disciplined approach to the portfolio in all markets and asset classes, rather than attempting to time the markets (the "Core").

The "Satellite" portion, by contrast, comprises investments such as commodities, real estate, private equity and alternative investment strategies improving the portfolios overall risk/reward profile thus adding alpha.
