Our Mission Statement
Guiding clients toward making informed Wealth Management decisions through professional relationships based on uncompromising integrity, trust, and personalized service
Our Story and Services
At The Shoreline Group, success means more than providing our clients with investment advice. It means helping them maintain the financial independence they’ve worked their whole lives to achieve. It means striving to make sure they have the means to pursue what’s most important to them. Also, it means understanding our clients as people who have unique goals, values and circumstances that determine the strategies we develop on their behalf.
The Shoreline Group process begins with an in-depth discussion of your current finances and future objectives. Our team addresses issues you might have overlooked that can have a significant impact on your ability to use your wealth as planned. We’ll determine how we can help you adjust your strategies as necessary to accommodate changing needs and meet any unforeseen situations or demands that may arise throughout your life.
Many of our clients at The Shoreline Group are in their early years as investors, driving forward with their career and family in mind. Others are in a crucial savings window. Some clients strive to reach the point where they know they can retire. When they retire, we help to make sure they are THRIVING throughout their retirement, until ARRIVING and we make sure that we handle the people and causes they care about with proper care in their absence.
We have a systematic process for guiding our clients through all stages of their financial life, which is why were named as one of Forbes Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams for 2023 and 2024. The Shoreline Group welcomes the opportunity to discuss our consultative process with you.

About Andrew M Plocker
Located in Deerfield, IL, 20 miles north of downtown Chicago, I work with an exceptional clientele of physicians, entrepreneurs, attorneys, and other successful professionals helping build and protect their wealth. While all families face financial issues, each has its own challenges, opportunities, and aspirations. Based on a deep understanding of these factors, we can help create a customized, comprehensive plan to help you achieve your unique vision of a successful life.
Our Wealth Management process goes far beyond investing and has four pillars-wealth enhancement, wealth transfer, wealth protection, and charitable giving. Very few financial advisors can address these issues alone. That’s why I’ve created a Virtual Family Office (VFO). My Virtual Family Office provides an ongoing integration of traditional investments with all other aspects of wealth planning. This means we help in coordination with your outside advisors such as Certified Public Accountants (CPA) and attorneys with all the resources within Morgan Stanley to address the full spectrum of your wealth management issues such as Morgan Stanley Family Office Resources, Private Banking, Trust Services, Corporate Business Services, and Blackrock’s advanced risk management technology called Aladdin used by many of the world’s largest institutional asset managers.
