The Clearview Legacy Group’s Process

The Clearview Legacy Group’s disciplined, values-based approach is designed to focus on your unique set of goals. By following these four comprehensive steps, they are able to recommend and implement appropriate solutions to help you achieve and maintain financial success for you and your family.
    Step 1: Getting to Know You
    An informal phone conversation will help the team understand your financial concerns and determine whether they can add value to your situation. If both sides feel there is a comfortable fit, the team will arrange an in-person meeting to learn about you in more depth.
    Step 2: Goal Setting and Discovery
    In this step, The Clearview Legacy Group will take a financial inventory of all of your assets and liabilities to determine where you currently are – your “Point A.” Then, the team can focus on what your most important goals are – your “Point B.” The plan will illustrate how the team can get you from “Point A to Point B.”
    Step 3: Presentation of Your Custom Plan
    In this important step, The Clearview Legacy Group will outline a comprehensive set of recommendations designed to optimize your chances of reaching your particular goals. With attention to detail, they’ll determine a suitable asset allocation mix, select appropriate portfolio managers and investments, as well as identify specific tax-efficient strategies. Opening the appropriate accounts occurs once you agree with the strategy.
    Step 4: Ongoing Review and Communication
    Once the team executes your plan, they’ll set up a variety of tools to ensure you have convenient access to your accounts. They may also reach out to your CPA and estate attorney to discuss any tax issues and to ensure that the strategies recommended are appropriately coordinated with your attorney’s advice. Finally, because personal objectives change and investment strategies evolve, the team will look to meet regularly with you to review and rebalance as needed.
