The Value of Advice
Our clients are quite diverse and have varied interests, career paths, and family situations. However, they typically have many traits in common.
They are usually busy individuals who consider their financial future a priority. They care deeply about their families and work to provide the best for generations to come. They want to maintain a certain lifestyle and enjoy memorable experiences throughout their retirement.
They are usually busy individuals who consider their financial future a priority. They care deeply about their families and work to provide the best for generations to come. They want to maintain a certain lifestyle and enjoy memorable experiences throughout their retirement.
Working With You
Every client has goals and aspirations for their financial resources. Whether that is paying for your child's higher education, an orderly transfer of your wealth to the next generation, or simply retiring comfortably, you have ambitions and desires.
It's unfortunate, but many investors use a rather piecemeal and random approach to financial planning. Because you've worked your entire life for a certain lifestyle in your retirement years, it's critical that we follow a highly structured and comprehensive process in planning for those years. We use a 4-step process with our clients to develop and address their goals.
It's unfortunate, but many investors use a rather piecemeal and random approach to financial planning. Because you've worked your entire life for a certain lifestyle in your retirement years, it's critical that we follow a highly structured and comprehensive process in planning for those years. We use a 4-step process with our clients to develop and address their goals.
Discovery
The first step in the wealth management process is critical to the development of a financial plan. By asking deeper, meaningful questions, we strive to get to the bottom of your financial situation and identify your unique goals for retirement, higher education, a secondary home, or more. In addition to outlining financial goals, we seek to build a complete financial picture, including any assets and liabilities held elsewhere.
Asset Location
The second step in the wealth management process entails utilizing any and all styles of accounts available in order to maximize tax efficiency. Our intelligent withdrawal software allows us to factor required minimum distribution and tax lots to recommend the most appropriate account to take any unexpected expenses. Whether it is a retirement vehicle, a 529 plan, Health Savings Account, we seek to find the optimal account to fit your unique financial situation and meet your financial goals.
Asset Implementation
The next step in the wealth management process involves selecting which investments to include in your unique portfolio. As an industry leader in providing research across a variety of asset classes, we leverage these resources to build discretionary models that align to client objectives. Depending on the client's unique risk profile, we tailor a unique portfolio incorporating the financial planning and asset location framework for each client. If you are unsure about a specific investment that was selected, we will happily explain the rationale behind the selection.
Ongoing Review
Our team will continuously review your investments to ensure that your portfolio remains aligned to your financial plan. During our bi-annual plan review meetings, we will review your plan in entirety and discuss if you would like to make any changes. While we plan on bi-annual plan review meetings, we are always happy to sit down and any point in time and make a change in the event of an unexpected circumstance.
