Our Process
Introduction
The first step is to have a discussion where we listen to your worries and figure out how we can be of benefit to you. Recognizing that not every advisor is the right fit for every client, we provide you with an overview of our methodology and disclose our fee structure. If we both concur to continue working together, we set up our next appointment and ask for crucial financial data.
Discovery
We maintain the conversation we started, gaining insight into the value that guide your choices and recognizing any special considerations related to your wealth. We review the documents you prepared and establish your priorities and deadlines.
Analysis and Plan Development
At this stage, we employ industry-leading financial planning tools to create a customized and comprehensive financial plan with concrete suggestions aimed at helping you expand, protect, and distribute your wealth. This plan serves as the cornerstone for establishing your initial strategy and for guiding future wealth management choices.
Plan Presentation
In this phase, we present you with your financial plan that features and investment portfolio that harmonizes your investments with your objectives, timeline, and risk tolerance. Additionally, we cover other wealth management options, such as risk management approaches and estate planning tactics.
Implementation
Once you approve our proposals, we initiate the implementation of the strategies outlined in the plan. Once your assets have been transferred to Morgan Stanley and are consistent with your investment strategy, we guide you through the specifics of your new statement and provide access to all the tools and resources that are now at your disposal.
Ongoing Service and Care
