As your dedicated wealth management team, the Bedford Wealth Management Group will tailor a personalized financial strategy that fits your needs. In our experience working with clients, we have developed a step-by-step approach to service:
Discovery
We take the time to fully understand you and your family – whether you’re planning for retirement, purchasing a home, or living out your golden years – we consider all of your challenges, goals, and aspirations when building your financial picture.
Forming Your Strategy
Using your life goals as our compass, we create a risk-balanced strategy which maps a clear path to achieving your success.
Implementing Your Plan
We apply extensive research and analysis, and also utilize Morgan Stanley’s full suite of resources, to ensure swift decisive action in all market scenarios.
Measuring Your Success
We check in with you to deliver metrics around your portfolio, and ultimately measure trajectory towards your goals. Our ultimate mission is your success and well-being.
Customized Solutions
As your wealth grows, so does its complexities and the resources needed to manage it effectively. We leverage our experience and relationships to deliver innovative strategies that are tailored to your needs. We look forward to speaking with you to understand your challenges, so we may map out a strategy to achieve your particular priorities and goals.
Wealth Management
Wealth management brings all the dimensions of your life together. We listen carefully to understand the connections across your personal life, your family, your career, and your legacy goals to develop an integrated strategy that is uniquely yours.
Financial Planning
The cornerstone of an effective wealth management plan is comprehensive financial planning, which captures your goals, resources and expectations for the future. Effective planning can potentially lead to successful education and retirement income funding. It helps eliminate blind spots, and helps ensure legacy goals are met.
Asset Management
Managing an investment portfolio should be a consultative, disciplined process that balances your attitudes about investing with careful analysis of the financial markets. Working together, we create a personalized strategy that applies long-held investment principles to help your assets appreciate appropriately or generate income as you require.
Retirement Planning
One of our key areas of strength is helping you prepare for and thrive in retirement. From IRAs to RMDs, we manage the complexities of your comprehensive retirement plan assets, helping you easily transition to the next phase of your life with security and confidence.
Estate Planning Strategies
Delivering an estate to the next generation or favorite charity requires more attention than families often realize. We coordinate with your estate and tax professionals to align your legacy goals with the appropriate asset titling and beneficiary designation requirements, incorporating best practices to help enhance results.
Business Planning
The links between business ownership and personal wealth are many and complex. Whether your objective is to grow your business, realize its value through a succession strategy or sale, or maintain family ownership through the next generation, we will help you examine your alternatives and develop the best strategy to achieve your goals.
Business Succession Planning
Owning a business represents years, if not decades, of hard work and entrepreneurial savvy. Yet, even the most astute business owners are often unfamiliar with the complexities that go into a successful succession strategy. We understand your succession in the context of your overall financial picture. We also work closely with your other financial advisors to help ensure your priorities are reflected in your succession strategy.
401(k) Rollovers
If you have a 401(k) from a previous job, we make it easy to consolidate your assets into one account so you can monitor your progress and investment results all in one place. This helps simplify your financial life, keeps you organized and helps make your money work harder for you.
ADDRESSING YOUR UNIQUE GOALS
Family Governance & Dynamics
For many high net worth clients, running a family business, operating a family office or simply investing as a family can present daunting challenges with a mix of issues. It is critical to develop a cohesive and thorough framework that helps you make wealth management decisions as a family.
Trust & Estate Planning
Often the hardest part of estate planning is just starting the conversation. Our group will help you and your family open these lines of communication to facilitate your ability to preserve and transfer wealth.
Philanthropic Planning
Many selfless individuals begin their philanthropic journeys by defining their personal passions and objectives. However, implementing a strategy can become challenging when there are multiple worthy causes close to your heart.
Signature Access
Signature Access provides Lifestyle Advisory services for the most affluent families. We will help connect you with carefully vetted, experienced professionals who can provide an extensive variety of services to help you contain costs, mitigate risks and enhance your overall enjoyment of life.
