The BridgeView IC Group was formed by the merger of The CU Focus Group and The Robinson Group to deliver a premier suite of family wealth management strategies. The merger of these two teams brings a unique skill set together into one team. The CU Focus Group has worked predominantly with institutions around the country. Whereas, The Robinson Group’s multigenerational team, with deep roots dating back to 1967, focuses on building multigenerational family relationships by providing customized solutions with exceptional service and execution.
By bringing together individual talents into a cohesive team, The BridgeView IC Group seeks to provide our clients with comprehensive, custom tailored solutions.

Having access to institutional level resources, at one of the world’s preeminent global financial services firms, means that our advice is informed by a global perspective and backed by the latest strategies and concepts in the family wealth management field.
We believe there is more to wealth planning than advice on any one investment, so we take an integrated, holistic approach to helping you invest for your needs and goals. Our team based approach allows our clients to benefit from our diverse experience and knowledge of wealth management solutions. Just as our estate planning strategies are designed for durability across the generations of your family, our team is designed with succession plans to ensure your heirs have access to seamless advice far into the future.

Our Process
1. Introduction
In our initial conversation we introduce our team and capabilities, but our focus is to understand you the client. We feel the bedrock of sound advice is deep understanding of your goals and what you are looking for in an advisor. The team of trusted advisors you may have for tax and legal advice is also an important element to providing optimum service.
2. Discovery
Our second discussion centers on your values, goals, and challenges. Every family and business faces a unique set of circumstances, and we use this time to better understand yours. This is a crucial step in developing our strategy, tailored to you.
3. Analysis
Equipped with where you are, and where you want to go, our team uses a variety of planning and stress testing tools as we identify appropriate solutions for your financial plan. These tools allow us to finalize a long term strategy for the clients we serve.
4. Plan Presentation
We meet and present in detail our recommended plan. This will include investment recommendations to align with your goals, minimize tax liabilities, and estate planning reviews. This is not a one way conversation, and based on your feedback we amend the plan before moving forward.
5. Implementation
Once you are satisfied with the direction of the plan, we begin the process of moving assets to Morgan Stanley and implementing our agreed upon strategies. Because we believe in holistic advice, we like to coordinate with your trusted CPA’s and attorneys to ensure all three sets of advice and strategy are working toward the same goals.
6. White Glove Service
Our team is committed to delivering premium service to our clients. This level of service results in a level of trust that leads to our team serving our client’s family wealth advisor for multiple generations.

1Investors should consider many factors before deciding which 529 plan is appropriate. Some of these factors include: the Plan’s investment options and the historical investment performance of these options, the Plan’s flexibility and features, the reputation and expertise of the Plan’s investment manager, Plan contribution limits and the federal and state tax benefits associated with an investment in the Plan. Some states, for example, offer favorable tax treatment and other benefits to their residents only if they invest in the state’s own Qualified Tuition Program. Investors should determine their home state’s tax treatment of 529 plans when considering whether to choose an in-state or out-of-state plan. Investors should consult with their tax or legal advisor before investing in any 529 Plan or contact their state tax division for more information. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC does not provide tax and/or legal advice. Investors should review a Program Disclosure Statement, which contains more information on investment options, risk factors, fees and expenses and possible tax consequences.

5An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website.
