Our Story and Services

We make it our goal to add value through a strong client-advisor relationship and by providing each client with access to the best financial resources available in the marketplace.

We focus on helping high net worth individuals and retirees to manage all aspects of their financial lives. From retirement to educational planning, we work with each client to develop a plan to grow and preserve their wealth. We initiate a planning-based discussion around each client's specific financial needs, their short and long-term objectives, their time horizon, and their risk tolerance.

By customizing a wealth management plan for each client, we seek to maximize each client's potential for achieving their financial goals. We often work with tax and legal advisors of clients to develop and optimize their financial situation.

Once the wealth management plan has been implemented, we will periodically review your plan's progress with you to make certain that its strategy remains aligned with your overall financial needs. By having a plan and a process in place we will be less affected by extraneous event-driven decisions.

We have access to a wide range of Morgan Stanley professionals whose experience can be drawn upon to customize a strategy that meets each client's unique financial objectives.

OUR PROCESS

As the financial world becomes more complex and investment choices increase, careful planning and consideration becomes more important to help you achieve your goals. Our role is to help you create a strategy that lays out a path to a successful financial future. The following steps were developed to achieve your financial goals:
    Icon Image
    1. Setting Your Financial Objectives
    Through a process of discovery and discussion, we will ask a series of detailed questions to understand and articulate your specific financial goals. Together, we’ll examine your current and future liabilities, income sources and cash flow needs, while considering critical factors that may influence your overall strategy. These will include your tolerance for risk, tax concerns, liquidity needs and time horizon.

    2. Creating Your Strategy
    From this ongoing dialogue, we’ll analyze your current situation and begin to develop a detailed action plan with recommendations to help you effectively build, protect, and transfer your wealth. This analysis will serve as the foundation for building your initial plan, as well as future wealth management decisions.

    3. Implementing Your Strategy
    Once we’ve discussed and refined your strategy, we will begin to execute your investment plan. In this step, we may also recommend several wealth management strategies to help preserve your assets, while positioning them to pass to loved ones and personal charitable interests. These strategies may encompass cash flow management strategies, risk management strategies, as well as estate, trust, and philanthropic services.

    4. Reviewing Objectives and Performance
    After we put your wealth management plan into action, we’ll set up a variety of tools to help ensure you have immediate access to your account information.
