Whether you are looking to grow your assets, save for retirement, or make sure you are ready for key life moments, you need a team that will help you plan for the expected and the unexpected. Unlike other advisors who come with a solution-first approach, The Terminus Group takes the time to understand, learn, and discover your complete financial picture before implementing a strategy. We believe honesty and integrity are essential in creating a successful relationship. We don’t treat you as just another client but rather give you overriding priority as we would with family.

Our Investment Process: Discover, Invest, Service
Our relationship starts with a deep dive of discovery to understand your specific goals and the resources available to help meet those goals. We then develop a personalized financial plan and provide investment solutions that can allow you to make informed decisions. Whether the asset management strategy utilizes The Terminus Group’s Portfolio Management, Morgan Stanley’s Global Investment Committee or an external asset manager, we have customized investment solutions striving to meet every need for every client.

The first-class service you receive from us begins at the first moment of contact. Our service team consists of Carol Keen, Michelle Rojas-Sterrett and Micah Kanicki and they know how to get things done efficiently and professionally with a smile in their voice. Service at all levels is an ongoing process that never ends, and we strive for an excellent client experience in everything we do.

In our advisory process full reviews take place annually (or more often if life events warrant the need to reassess), but we are always available to be of service or to answer any questions you may have. Maintaining an open line of communication is part of our ongoing commitment to you.
Portfolio Management
We believe that direct ownership of individual stocks and bonds is one of the best paths to helping build, maintain and preserve your long-term wealth. Our team’s Investment Committee formally meets twice a month but collaborates on a daily basis to discuss investment ideas and the markets. We have developed an internal process we call Constascans to make ongoing adjustments to individual portfolios as market changes occur. Our strategies are well-diversified over different industry sectors to manage market volatility. Not only do we use our own rich experience for analyses but we also utilize the economic research that you can get from the global financial resources at Morgan Stanley. Our Portfolio Management investment strategies are actively managed on a discretionary basis and charged a fair, reasonable and transparent advisory fee.

Awards and honors earned for hard work and dedication to wealth management.
