My Story

Over the years, many clients have come to appreciate working with a knowledgeable advisor who has experienced some of the same situations they now face. I make it a priority to be your advocate, addressing your specific challenges in a caring, thoughtful manner.

With passion and attention to detail, I help guide you in making sound decisions about your wealth through ongoing education and a commitment to outstanding service. We begin with a deep understanding of what’s important to you, your family and your legacy. This information serves as the foundation for the development of a comprehensive financial plan that is uniquely yours.

As a Family Wealth Advisor and Portfolio Management Director, I combine two important skills: The ability to work through unique and often complicated family dynamics around your wealth and the insights to build and manage an investment portfolio that is aligned with your goals and values.

My experience in international finance – combined with a keen understanding of macro-economic trends – enables me to help take the mystery out of the markets, delivering a disciplined approach to smart money management.

Getting started is easy. It begins with a conversation. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing details on how we can work together in an effort to enhance the quality of your financial life. My ultimate mission is to empower you to be more confident now in making important financial decisions, while enabling you to transfer wealth to future generations or your most cherished philanthropic interests.

Concentrated Stock Positions

If you have a concentrated stock position from an inheritance, employment stock grants or through building a position over time, you may want to seek to protect yourself against market declines by diversifying your holdings. Concentrated positions can increase investment risk. The simplest way to reduce that risk is to diversify your portfolio. However, many investors may be unable or unwilling to sell their concentrated position. Therefore, you may want to discuss potential hedging and monetization strategies.
Potential Options to Diversify a Concentrated Stock Position
  • Access liquidity against your position
  • Employ a hedging strategy
  • Use an exchange fund
  • Equities sales & product solutions
  • Derivative solutions

4The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
