Our Focused Diversification Approach to Investing
Investing should be clear, disciplined, and purposeful—without unnecessary complexity or dilution. At The Peace River Team, we built Index+ with our Focused Diversification approach to do just that: focus on high-quality companies and research-driven stock selection.
Index+ Models at a Glance
• Winner Takes All (WTA) – Built on the chassis of the S&P 500 but turbocharged with the power of Morgan Stanley Research. This high-conviction strategy selects only Morgan Stanley’s highest-rated stocks, ensuring that each position is meaningful.
• qDow – A hybrid portfolio that combines the resilience of the DJIA with the innovation of the Nasdaq 100, strategically emphasizing the strongest-rated companies while filtering out weaker holdings.
• Low Volatility Equity Income – A defensive, equity-focused alternative to traditional income strategies, following the same high-conviction discipline as WTA but using the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index as its benchmark.
• qDow – A hybrid portfolio that combines the resilience of the DJIA with the innovation of the Nasdaq 100, strategically emphasizing the strongest-rated companies while filtering out weaker holdings.
• Low Volatility Equity Income – A defensive, equity-focused alternative to traditional income strategies, following the same high-conviction discipline as WTA but using the S&P 500 Low Volatility Index as its benchmark.
Principles with Precision, Not Compromise
Over the years, we’ve seen a growing number of investors who want to integrate their deeply held convictions into their financial plans. For those investors, we developed Portfolios on Principal—a customization approach that allows for personal alignment without sacrificing the discipline that drives strong performance.
Every company in our portfolios is vetted through Morgan Stanley’s award-winning research, ensuring that all holdings meet rigorous financial and strategic criteria. Unlike traditional filtering methods that apply broad exclusions with unpredictable results, our customization overlays are designed to maintain portfolio strength while allowing investors to emphasize key themes without compromising performance.
We offer four targeted overlays for investors who want to personalize their portfolios while preserving the integrity of our research-driven approach:
• Faithful Stewardship – Prioritizing companies with leadership practices that align with strong governance and corporate responsibility.
• Women in Leadership – Investing in companies where women hold significant executive or board positions.
• Green Innovation – Focusing on firms driving innovation in sustainability, energy efficiency, and resource management.
• Patriotic Employers – Highlighting companies with strong domestic hiring practices and investment in American workers.

For investors who want simplicity without sacrifice, transparency without clutter, and performance without excessive risk, Index+ provides a research-driven approach that evolves with the markets—without unnecessary complexity.

About Eric Charles Loche
Eric Loche’s career in wealth management isn’t just about numbers—it’s personal.
In 1987, his family faced an unexpected financial crisis. After his father suffered an injury that left him unable to work, Black Monday wiped out a quarter of their savings. When Eric applied for financial aid, he was told they didn’t qualify—despite his family’s hardship.
Everything changed when his parents met a financial planner who helped them navigate the crisis. Eric was preparing to leave college, packing his belongings, when his family called with good news. Because of that advisor’s guidance, they stayed afloat—and Eric graduated.
That moment shaped his future. He saw firsthand how the right financial strategy can change lives, and it’s why he dedicates his career to helping others gain control, protect their wealth, and build a future they can count on.
A Career Built on Expertise and Integrity
Now, with over 30 years in the financial services industry, Eric leads The Peace River Team’s stock, bond, and mutual fund strategies through a discretionary investment platform built on Morgan Stanley’s award-winning research. His high-conviction approach ensures that every investment plays a meaningful role—avoiding the common inefficiencies that weaken many modern portfolios.
Eric holds both the Certified Portfolio Manager® (CPM®) and CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) designations, reinforcing his expertise in investment management and holistic financial planning.
He began his career in 1994 with NationsBank, transitioned to wealth management at Merrill Lynch in 1997, and later joined Wells Fargo before arriving at Morgan Stanley in 2014. His dual degrees in Journalism and Psychology from California State University-Chico (1990) give him a unique ability to communicate complex financial strategies in simple, effective terms.
Committed to Clients. Dedicated to Community.
Beyond his work, Eric is deeply committed to his community in Port Charlotte, Florida, where he lives with his wife, Jennifer, an RN serving the local area. Over the years, he has dedicated himself to numerous leadership and philanthropic roles, including:
• Board Member, Florida SouthWestern State College Foundation
• Founding Partner & Former President, Crossroads Hope Academy
• Executive Board Member, Charlotte County Economic Development Partnership
• Former Advisory Committee Member, Charlotte County Blood Bank
• Past President, Charlotte County Jaycees
Eric’s mission is clear: help people take control of their financial future, just like that advisor did for his family decades ago.
