Our Story

Wealth is almost always accompanied by complexity, especially in the case of successful business owners, senior executives, and their families.

The Patriots Hill Wealth Management Group is a team of experienced financial professionals who understand the demands and challenges our clients face:

• Their personal wealth is intertwined with the fortunes of one main asset.
• They dedicate so much time to their careers that they need guidance to help them build, execute, and monitor their financial plan.
• The complexity of their financial challenges extends well beyond their investments.
• They know they can manage their finances more effectively but they’re not sure how to find the right people to help them do it.

We take immense pride in being “the right people” for clients who seek non-cookie cutter solutions delivered in a team-focused and collaborative relationship.

Developing Your Wealth Management Strategy

Individuals work hard to build wealth in pursuit of a meaningful life for themselves and their family. Your achievements reflect substantial effort, and we will work just as hard on your behalf, committing our experience and skills to helping you achieve your unique goals for your wealth.  Moreover, we will support you and your strategy by accessing the resources and perspective of one of the world's largest financial firms.
Creating Your Wealth Plan
Charting a prudent course to financial independence requires a well-conceived, personalized financial plan with defined long-term goals that reflects the totality of your personal and financial life. Our consultative wealth advisory process was developed to help generate that plan.  Its key steps are designed to produce a broad, adaptive, and cohesive plan for your financial future.
Step 1: Setting Your Financial Objectives
We will begin by discussing what matters most to you and what you want to accomplish with your wealth.  In addition to your finances and investments, together we will talk about you, your values, lifestyle, your concerns, and your passions.
Step 2: Developing Your Wealth Management Strategy
We will analyze your personal and financial information, assess risks, and identify potential threats to your financial health. Then we will present you with a comprehensive plan to address your income and cash flow needs, borrowing requirements, asset protection, retirement planning, wealth transfer, and philanthropy goals.
Step 3: Implementing Your Strategy
Our objective approach to implementing your plan will pay special attention to how its various aspects can affect, enhance and integrate with each other. When appropriate, we will seek additional, in-depth advice on particularly complex planning, financial, and family issues that we collectively identify.
Step 4: Reviewing Objectives and Performance
We view ongoing communication as the foundation of our successful collaboration with you. We will make every effort to keep abreast of your changing financial needs and provide viable strategies to help you meet them. This means reviewing your portfolio together at your request. When your circumstances change, we will work with you to revise your strategy and reposition your assets to reflect your new needs and goals.

Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
