Financial Planning Process
Because no two people are alike, your investment portfolio should be tailored to reflect your personal values and objectives. The Blakeman/Mavor Group is dedicated to customizing each portfolio in order to help you achieve your individual goals, balancing your comfort for risk or volatility with your desire for return. Specifically, you can count on our team of professionals to work closely with you in the following manner:
1. Introduction
We begin the Financial Planning process by getting to know you in order to uncover your financial concerns and determine how we can add value as your Financial Advisors. If we all agree to embark in the financial planning relationship, we will schedule our next meeting to gather some necessary financial information from you and determine your short and long-term goals.
2. Discovery & Goals
We continue our process by fostering an in depth conversation where we are able to thoroughly understand the values that shape your decisions and goals for the future. In this meeting we will also begin to gather important documents from you that will be necessary in creating a personalized and accurate Financial Plan.
3. Analysis & Plan Development
In this step, we utilize Morgan Stanley's proprietary financial planning software, LifeView, to develop a customized and comprehensive plan with specific recommendations and strategies to help you grow, preserve, and transfer your wealth to the next generation. We take all of the information we have collected during our Discovery Meeting to create a roadmap to financial success.
4. Implementation & Monitoring
With implementation, we present you with the strategies and recommendations that we have created specifically for your situation in order for you to achieve your goals. We then will work together to put the suggested strategies into action. As your Financial Advisors, we are committed to putting clients first. We will regularly monitor your Financial Plan to make sure you are always on track to achieving your goals. As situations change, know that we are always ready to discuss any changes that need to be made to your plan to make sure that your plan is always aligned with your financial goals.
