Our Approach

At The Trinity Group, wealth management means far more than just giving investment advice. To us, it means providing the guidance and ideas to address virtually all phases of your financial life. As Financial Advisors, our goal is to help identify the proper guidance and strategies that are suitable for you along life’s journey—seeking to help you grow, preserve and then ultimately transfer your wealth on to the next generation.

Our team has the knowledge and experience to help navigate the planning process—which is an ongoing process of preparing for and reacting to critical life events, such as a job change, retirement, an unexpected expense or inheritance. We are well-equipped to offer feedback and help navigate these events by providing our clients with access to the investment products, industry professionals and innovative technology that Morgan Stanley is known for. We believe that all of these tools are necessary in order to help you make informed, confident decisions about your finances.

As your Financial Advisors, our role is to make sure you not only have the in-depth planning and investment advice that we focus on, but to provide you with access to the various professionals that can offer insight on all of your financial needs, including tax, banking, lending and legal issues. We are committed to acting as your Financial Advisor—putting your interests first—and developing a lifetime relationship that is built on confidence and competency.

As your financial life evolves, so do your goals. No matter the stage of your journey, we partner with our clients to help them navigate the challenges presented throughout each stage.

Our Proces

At The Trinity Group, we believe that identifying financial solutions begins with a solid understanding of each client's situation, goals, objectives and risk tolerance. We follow a disciplined process that allows us to work with you to craft a solution that helps meet your individual needs. This process aligns our efforts with your interests, providing a road map focused on what is most important to you.

Step 1: Introductory Meeting

Our relationship begins with an initial discussion aimed towards getting to know you, your lifestyle, and your future goals.

Step 2: Discovery Meeting

During the discovery meeting, we will work together to establish your financial goals by reviewing your current financial situation and developing an appropriate risk tolerance that can help you achieve the financial outcome you envision for yourself.

Step 3: Financial Plan Presentation

Financial plan presentations map out essential factors that play into your financial success such as your employee and employer contributions, liquidity events, and insurance coverage. Examining relevant financial information provides a holistic asset allocation analysis for your accounts helping ensure a comprehensive financial plan.

Step 4: Action Items / Next Steps

After the financial plan presentation, we will follow up with you regarding your analysis and recommendations, which may include adjustments to your financial plan, investment allocation, company benefits and insurance coverage.

Step 5: Implementation Meeting

The implementation meeting focuses on creating prospective strategies custom designed for your specific needs. Recommended changes could include logistics, tax impact, asset allocation adjustments, and saving/benefit modifications

Step 6: Monitoring & Performance Tracking

Finally, we will be constantly monitoring your assets and analyzing your performance tracking data seeking to ensure your financial expectations are being met and adjusted accordingly. We will keep a high degree of communication with you to make sure your concerns and requests are always addressed.
