Our Mission Statement
Guidance to help you understand and succeed in every aspect of your financial life
Our Story
Clients become our clients for a wide variety of reasons. Some feel they weren’t getting the attention they needed from their previous advisory relationship. Others are concerned they might not be doing whatever is necessary to navigate the complexities of today’s financial environment and succeed in reaching their retirement or other financial goals. Still others are successful businesses seeking to provide their employees with meaningful retirement benefits, or ultra-high net worth families concerned about passing their wealth to the next generation.
For all these clients, The Radcliff Schatzman Group offers benefits that we believe distinguish us from many of the other advisory firms available to you:
• We are a true team, not a collection of Financial Advisors who don’t know each other’s clients. Each of us plays a distinct role in every client relationship and all of us are committed to providing you with the guidance to help achieve your goals and the service to simplify your financial life.
• We employ a comprehensive plan-based approach to your finances that shows you where you are in relation to your goals and offers tangible recommendations for working towards those goals within your required timeframe. Your plan includes your investments, as you would expect, but it goes far beyond to encompass such diverse disciplines as estate planning strategies, lending solutions, insurance planning and philanthropy.
• Our team members have gone the extra mile to earn industry and Morgan Stanley designations that affirm our ability to help you meet even your most complex financial challenges. These credentials include Family Wealth Director, a designation obtained by about 5% of all Morgan Stanley Financial Advisors as of December 2024, Corporate Retirement Director, Alternative Investments Director, and Certified Portfolio Manager (CPM®).
• As your Financial Advisor, we believe that service and communication should be key to what we hope to accomplish together. Our approach to service is disciplined and extensive. You can count on us to talk with you monthly, review your portfolio at least quarterly and update your financial plan annually. If by some chance you can’t reach us, we pledge to get back to you within an hour. If you have an issue that can’t be resolved immediately, you can expect that we will help to resolve it as quickly as possible.

5Alternative Investments are speculative and include a high degree of risk. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his/her investment. Alternative investments are appropriate only for qualified, long-term investors who are willing to forgo liquidity and put capital at risk for an indefinite period of time.
6Investing in the market entails the risk of market volatility. The value of all types of investments may increase or decrease over varying time periods. The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of sustainable or impact investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because sustainability and impact criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining financial market.
