Creating Your Plan
In my opinion, in order to be truly effective, your plan must reflect the totality of your personal and financial life. Our role is to help ensure that your investment objectives are consistent with pressuring financial concerns and your long-term aspirations.
We developed these four steps to achieve that goal:
We developed these four steps to achieve that goal:
Step 1: Setting your financial objectives
Through a process of discovery and discussion, we will work with you to articulate your aims for your wealth. Together, we will examine your current and future liabilities, income sources and cash flow needs, and then consider factors that might influence your overall strategy, including tolerance for risk, tax concerns, liquidity needs and time horizon. Through careful analysis, the team will look for potential gaps that may exist between your goals, and work to develop sound strategies to help smooth the path.
Step 2: Creating your strategy
Working from our understanding of you and your objectives, we will propose a financial plan that contains specific strategies designed to help meet those goals. Our advice may encompass issues such as retirement planning, business continuation, tax minimization strategies and wealth transfer. You will also receive an asset allocation strategy designed to provide diversification for your portfolio.
Asset Allocation and diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining financial markets.
Asset Allocation and diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining financial markets.
Step 3: Implementing your strategy
After discussing and refining your strategy, we will work closely with you to bring the elements to life. Planning is a vital part of our process. Using tools to actively monitor your plans progress, helping to ensure you are on track to meet your financial goals and objectives. If you prefer to invest in individual securities, we can help identify specific stocks, bonds and other securities that may be appropriate for your portfolio. Whatever approach we decide on, the team will strive to keep your strategy on track.
Step 4: Reviewing objectives and performance
We view ongoing communication as the foundation of our successful collaboration with you. We will make every effort to stay aware of your changing financial needs and provide viable strategies to help you meet them. This means reviewing your portfolio together at your request when your circumstances change, we will work with you to revise your strategy and reposition your assets to reflect your new needs and goals.
