MORE THAN JUST INVESTMENT ADVICE
Each part of your entire financial picture relies to some degree on the other parts. Our holistic approach integrates them all – from investments, estate planning, budgeting, insurance and taxes to your relationships, interests and aspirations. The success of this integration relies on a process, not on any financial product. Here’s how we do it.
Our Process Driven Approach
We ask the right questions
Questions such as “Where will the market be in a year?” and “What will the Fed do with interest rates?” are unanswerable, and will only add confusion. We focus on what will help you succeed, such as “How should I invest during retirement?” and “How much risk is appropriate for my situation?”
We gather & analyze your information
Your financial picture is more than just a series of numbers and account balances. We make sure we understand your goals, values, experiences, relationships and interests.
We create
a planWhile a sound investment strategy is crucial to success, financial planning underpins every investment decision, and any other financial decision. Your plan coordinates all of your concerns and their solutions.
We implement
your planOur fierce independence and fiduciary duty give you confidence that our recommendations are always in your best interest. Our fee-only structure eliminates any conflicts of interest in choosing solutions.
We make sure you stay on track
Down markets breed fear; up markets create greed. Either way, emotions often lead to bad investor behavior. Through planning, education and objectivity, we provide the discipline necessary to avoid costly emotional mistakes.
We reevaluate and adjust as necessary
As your goals and circumstances evolve over time, so should your plan. Periodic reviews ensure that any changes in your life are accounted for and reflected in your plan.
