What Constitutes Premium Advice

Our 4 step process lays out a clear path to your goals– one you can easily follow, with guidance to help make informed, confident decisions.
    Icon Image
    Step 1: Gather Important Information
    We begin with a detailed conversation that identifies what is truly important to you. We'll ask a series of questions to provide an in-depth understanding of your personal, professional and financial situation and educates us about your long term goals, time horizon and tolerance for risk.
    Icon Image
    Step 2: Analyze and Develop Your Custom Plan
    We'll then analyze your current situation and begin to develop a detailed proposal with recommendations to help you effectively build, preserve and transfer your wealth.
    Icon Image
    Step 3: Implement Your Plan
    Here, we'll present appropriate investment options that, once executed, work together to help you grow your portfolio in an effort to achieve your financial goals.
    Icon Image
    Step 4: Monitor Your Results
    Finally, we'll continuously monitor your investment plan to ensure your portfolio is properly balanced, and the investment vehicles utilized are performing according to preset benchmarks.

Financial Planning with The Triad Group

We start by identifying your specific needs and aspirations. Often these objectives are competing for limited resources and so it becomes necessary to establish priorities. Among the necessities are: adequate cash for living expenses and emergencies; protection from catastrophic risks to life, health and property; and enough income in retirement. Aspirational goals include assisting loved ones, giving to charity and leaving a legacy.

We recommend solutions using both sides of your balance sheet by providing recommendations for investments as well as debt management. We pay close attention to the impact of taxes throughout the process and coordinate with your accountant, attorney and other professionals, to ensure the planning is well implemented.

CFP® Advantage

Tab Image
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioners are qualified to help individuals pull all their finances together, solve financial problems, and make a plan to help achieve their financial goals.  This certification requires an extensive curriculum of training, a comprehensive exam, hours of industry experience and strict adherence to ethical standards.

The Triad Group at Morgan Stanley has two CFP® certified advisors supporting the clients of their practice, Tracey Binkley and Mark Jacobs.
Together and with the support of their team they utilize the board recommended steps in the financial planning process.

Most people think all financial planners are “certified,” but this isn’t true. Just about anyone can use the title “financial planner.” Only those who have fulfilled CFP Board's rigorous requirements can call themselves CFP® practitioners.

CFP® practitioners are held to strict ethical standards to help ensure financial planning recommendations are in your best interest. What’s more, CFP® practitioners must acquire several years of experience related to delivering financial planning services to clients and pass the comprehensive CFP® Certification Exam before they can call themselves CFP® practitioners.

Financial planning is a dynamic process. Your financial goals may evolve over the years due to shifts in your lifestyle or circumstances such as an inheritance, career change, marriage, house purchase or a growing family. As you begin to consider how best to manage your financial future, you should feel confident knowing that with CFP® practitioners, you are working with someone committed to providing the highest level of financial planning.
