My Story and Services

Over the past 35 years, I have dedicated myself to assisting clients in managing their wealth through both prosperous and challenging times.

As a Senior Portfolio Manager and Financial Advisor, I focus on managing fee-based portfolios and work closely with high-net-worth individuals, families, trusts, and foundations. My goal is to formulate asset allocation strategies that are meticulously tailored to meet your current needs, long-term goals, and risk tolerance.

A cornerstone of my approach is the development of a detailed financial plan that encompasses various aspects such as goals, retirement, education, and philanthropy. This plan is crafted based on your current situation and future aspirations, ensuring that we are aligned with your objectives.

My focus is on managing traditional equity and fixed income assets, complemented by alternative investments. This diversified approach is designed to optimize your portfolio's performance while managing risk effectively.

Managing Assets and Liabilities

Following a thorough discovery and ongoing review process, we identify the areas in which we can provide a high level of service and analytical financial management framework. This cultivates a personalized and comprehensive wealth strategy that centers on growing your wealth by managing both sides of your balance sheet. Below are the major areas we target when working with investors:

    Tactical Portfolio Management

    Active investing is at the heart of Bopp Montalvo Group. We believe an overly active trading strategy has inconsistent proof of being neither effective nor prudent while a buy and hold approach to investing can be equally inefficient. Rather we feel a targeted tactical approach to investing, which consists of constant monitoring of the specific investments as well as asset allocation percentage changes, is extremely important. This results in occasional and periodic asset replacement and market navigation with cash.

    Tax Management Awareness

    It is important to understand how taxes can affect after-tax returns on a basic level. It is widely understood that the realization of gains and payment of taxes will ultimately have an impact on the ending value of the investment portfolio, but by how much? Tax-Efficiency and Active Tax-Loss Harvesting are prominent strategies targeted at minimizing these costs. This can be accomplished through proper asset allocation, calculated liquidation strategies across various holdings, tactical distributions and many more insights.

    Cash Flow & Risk Analysis

    Budgeting can be the simplest of tasks and helps create a foundation in financial management, but often gets forgotten. Start with a focus on inflows vs. outflows. Specifically, what are the planned contributions and distributions? By identifying the cash flows, your forecasted risk can be prudently determined. Forecasted risk is a combination of calculated risk and behavioral risk which pinpoints an appropriate framework for asset allocation and behavioral finance tendencies. These pillars will help you keep short-term and long-term objectives equally in the limelight.

    Debt & Cash Management

    We are advocates of open architecture strategies because of the benefits they can provide for the longevity of your assets. When paired with our tactical portfolio management, resourceful and flexible private banking solutions can improve the positioning across your accounts and, ultimately, increase the efficiency and effectiveness of compounded growth of the overall portfolio.

    Strategic Financial & Legacy Planning

    Applying sophisticated analytical tools, models and applications, we are able to produce quantitative analysis of complex situations and scenarios. This helps quantify the implications of taking various courses of action, helping you make clear and informed decisions and ultimately solving the complex financial planning challenges you and your legacy can face. We work with you and your attorneys to help ensure your estate plan is aligned with your values and your aspirations for the next generation.

    Philanthropy

    Collaborating with your legal and tax advisors, we can help integrate charitable giving or philanthropy into your wealth plan so you may enhance the impact within your community and organizations. We are there at each stage to better define your mission and values as we create a sustainable and effective charitable or philanthropic strategy throughout your life.

    Family Governance and Wealth Education

    We strive to maximize family wealth education, making it more likely that all members of your family will have the foundation they need to lead meaningful, fulfilled and engaged lives. This includes the dynamics of intergenerational wealth transfer and, when needed, providing personalized wealth education to prepare younger generations to be stewards of the wealth they will inherit. Please view our "Commitment to Education" Section

    Business Succession

    Exiting your company in a way that supports your financial objectives, preserves business value and positions your wealth to potentially achieve your legacy and multigeneration goals takes careful planning that begins years and many months in advance. We assist at each stage of the process, helping you map and illustrate issues against your current timeline, all while working with your outside advisors to help ensure that you are properly positioned to help minimize taxes from the transaction.
