Investment Management

Investment management.

Wealth is neither created overnight nor preserved by accident. We manage each of our client's assets with their specific goals and situation in mind. Our asset management approach, developed and refined for nearly three decades, utilizes asset allocation as its primary portfolio strategy.

Asset Allocation

By spreading your investments across different kinds of stocks, bonds, and cash equivalents, your portfolio is able to participate in a variety of market sectors while seeking to reduce overall risk. While no single investment approach can guarantee success, asset allocation can temper the ups and downs of the market and enhance portfolio returns.

A thorough portfolio strategy is one that seeks to protect from the twin threats of inflation and taxes in addition to investment loss. Our allocation strategy works to combat these constant enemies that weigh down on the growth of your portfolio.

Our diversification strategy utilizes portfolio managers in addition to robust research and comprehensive investment tools. This allows us to carefully allocate your assets, monitor them regularly and make changes accordingly.

Because we are independent of investment banks and insurance companies, we have the freedom to offer our clients the investment choices guided first by their personal needs and suitability. We strive to minimize opportunity for conflicts of interest by engaging out clients in an advisory relationship and maintaining their best interest as our primary focus.

We are currently accepting asset management clients with $250,000 or greater portfolios. We offer fee reductions for accounts at $1 million, $5 million, and $10 million levels.

What a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ can do for you.

Draw up a complete financial statement and help set goals

Before a trek or expedition, an expert nature guide begins by evaluating who he will be leading into the wilderness, including their strengths, goals, abilities, and points of concern. Similarly, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ performs a comprehensive financial analysis specific to you. Specialized training and experience enable the analyst to ask all the right questions to help you define and outline your personal goals.

Analyze relevant aspects of your current financial picture

A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ understands that your financial situation has many moving parts (assets, income, insurance, taxes, business interests, wills, etc.). They are trained to hold your objectives and lend scrutiny and analysis of your finances in view of your making those objectives attainable.

Identify weaknesses and recommend improvements

The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner's objective is to design a strategy which will weather any perceived or potential weaknesses in your financial outlook, and provide specific recommendations to help you pursue your financial objectives in a more streamlined and effective way.

Coordinate and implement your plan

Any financial plan, no matter how impressive or well-designed, is worthless unless it is implemented. A good CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner ensures that all the elements of your action item checklist are set into motion, that the work of specialists - such as your attorney or accountant - are coordinated on your behalf, and that the desired effects of the plan are realized.

Comprehensive financial planning generally begins at $1,500, with more complex cases starting at $2,500. The fee covers one year of new scenarios, clarifications and updates.

Risk management solutions.

An essential part of financial planning, insurance can help replace income that would be lost upon your death or disability. It can also help ensure that dependents are not burdened with significant debt, affording them financial means in a difficult time.

Risk Management

Life Insurance

Life insurance offers a way to provide for your family after your death. Although choosing life insurance can be a daunting task, selecting the right policy can be critical to your family’s financial well-being.

While there are many different kinds of life insurance, we will carefully walk you through the process of choosing an appropriate policy for you and your family.

Disability Insurance

Similar to life insurance, disability insurance provides a steady stream of income for you and your loved ones in the event of your temporary or permanent disability.

The risk of a serious accident seems distant until we experience it firsthand. We will help you consider these risks to determine if such a policy is appropriate for you.

Long Term Care Insurance

With the ever-rising costs of personal health care, Long Term Care insurance guards your assets from service costs that might not be covered by health insurance or Medicare, such as assisted living or hospice care.

Long Term Care insurance is not necessarily appropriate for everyone, but we will happily assist you in exploring this risk management option.

Retirement Risk

Annuities and Estate Planning Services

As part of our Financial Planning process, we help you consider ways to protect your estate and leave your mark on the family, friends, and organizations that mean most to you.
