My Mission Statement
Whatever your personal goals may be, I will work with you to develop a personalized financial approach designed to help you pursue what’s most important to you.
Welcome
For over a decade, Todd has worked with families in the Philadelphia area and throughout the country to provide customized, professional guidance to help turn the challenges they face into a clear wealth plan. He makes every effort to listen and understand his clients to help them prioritize their family goals, create a budget that makes sense, and develop a tailored strategy that will help them achieve a successful retirement.
His passion for investments and financial planning derives from the strong work ethic of his parents and the intentional life lessons they taught him at a young age about the power of money and how it can help you achieve the goals you set out for yourself.
Todd earned his bachelors from the University of Pennsylvania in Political Science, Philosophy, and Economics. As a Pitcher, he was a 4-year varsity baseball starter, freshman All-American, first team all-Ivy, a 2-year Captain, in addition to being included in the Penn Baseball Hall of Fame. Outside of work, Todd serves on the board for the University of Pennsylvania Baseball Alumni, coaches his son's t-ball team, and helps with Penn Charter's Middle School baseball team.

Approach
Discovery Process
Investing the time to learn about you and your family; your assets and liabilities and the risk exposures, enables us to formulate strategies and customize the relationship to your needs.
Formulation of Tax, Trust and Estate Strategy
Working with your tax and legal advisors, we help analyze your income and estate tax circumstances to identify and tailor planning techniques that may be used to address your objectives.
Creation of Customized Strategic Asset Allocation
Your customized asset allocation reflects risk, opportunities and taxation across multiple entities, while integrating your investing and estate plans.
Integration of Tactical Asset Allocation
Short-term adjustments seek to capitalize on temporary market distortions. Before making adjustments, we analyze the impact of taxes and trading costs on potential returns.
Implementation of a Customized Wealth Strategy
After comprehensive due diligence and analysis of expected results across multiple market scenarios, strategies are chosen from our expansive investment platform.
Ongoing Assessment
In coordination with your other advisors, we can conduct ongoing reviews and comprehensive reporting to ensure that your strategy adapts to changing financial and family needs.
