Our Process

Our clients rely on us for more than investment advice—we serve as strategic partners to business owners, families, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals across generations and borders. From global wealth planning and investment management to succession, business transition, and philanthropy, we take a comprehensive, family office-style approach to help you protect and grow your legacy with clarity and intention. That is why we employ a comprehensive financial planning approach that consists of the following steps:

Step 1: Discovery
We take time to fully understand you and your family's needs and goals. Whether you're planning for retirement, purchasing a home, or living out your retirement years - We take in to account your aspirations, challenges, risk tolerance and other factors to help us develop your financial plan.

Step 2: Formulating Your Strategy
Using your goals as a guide, we create a detailed strategy with recommendations aimed to help you grow, preserve, and transfer your wealth. We use proprietary financial planning tools in tandem with your personal priorities to help formulate a plan that fits your needs.
Step 3: Implementing Your Plan
In this step, we present the strategy we created for you. Upon your approval, we begin to implement the strategy using the firm's world class platforms.

Step 4: Monitoring and Evaluation
Continuing the conversation allows us to help ensure that your current goals are top of mind when working on your wealth management strategy. We monitor your plan and portfolio to help make certain your assets are positioned to align with your changing circumstances.
