Our team's investment philosophy is centered around three pillars: maintaining an institutional approach, following a bespoke consulting process, and focusing on tax efficiency.
We truly believe that we do better when you do better. We seek to provide an institutional approach to wealth management, embracing open architecture with a commitment to providing unbiased advice. Having 30 years of experience on Sand Hill Road, we understand the importance of having a macro-outlook when assessing each client's financial situation. Using our proprietary reporting system, our team has access to a variety of funds and money managers, helping us tailor each allocation strategy using the best offerings across asset classes.
We follow a six-step approach to get a holistic view of your financial picture and assess which strategies are best suited to balance your needs and long-term goals.
Taxes are, in our opinion, the most expensive cost of doing investment business. Therefore, tax management is a significant focus of what we do.
Tax efficient techniques we consider include:
The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" makes the individual and corporate tax cuts from the TCJA permanent, and introduces new individual and business tax cuts.
