Our Goals-Based Process

Our process begins and ends with what is important to you, your family and your legacy. Through each step, we provide objective advice and investment insights to construct a wealth management plan that is uniquely yours.
    Icon Image
    1. Introduction
    We begin with an informal discussion to understand your financial concerns and determine how we can help add value. If we all agree to move forward, we'll schedule our next meeting and request important financial information.
    Icon Image
    2: Discovery
    We continue the dialogue by fostering an in-depth conversation where we learn about the values that shape your decisions and identify any unique circumstances. We also review the documents you’ve prepared and define your priorities.
    Icon Image
    3: Asset Transfer
    With your approval, we begin to transfer your assets to Morgan Stanley. Once transferred, we begin our goals-based financial planning process.
    Icon Image
    4: Analysis & Plan Development
    Utilizing proprietary tools and insights from Morgan Stanley, we develop a personalized financial plan that integrates all of your available assets into one integrated plan.
    Icon Image
    5: Plan Presentation & Implementation
    In this step, we present appropriate strategies that are designed to work together to help achieve your goals. Upon your approval, we will initiate the investment recommendations and begin to implement the additional strategies we’ve discussed. These often encompass risk management, as well as estate and legacy planning strategies.
    Icon Image
    6: Ongoing Service
    Committed to premium service, we focus on developing a relationship that can potentially provide value to you and your family. As we begin to execute each strategy, we will set up tools so you have immediate access to your account information. And because markets and personal needs evolve over time, we set up ongoing meetings to help ensure your plan remains on schedule to achieve your goals.
