We kickoff our initial conversations and discovery phase by getting to know you and the people who are important in your life
We aim to understand and help develop your goals/objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, and need for liquidity
We define the scope of our engagement, identify the types of services to be rendered, disclose all pertinent information, and determine our responsibilities in the process
Step 2: Gather data
We gather all qualitative and quantitative financial and personal data
We comprehensively list all your assets and liabilities, and then take note of all your real estate investments, assets, retirement/pension plans, cash/bank statements, employer benefits, insurance policies, estate planning documents, and more
All of your information will be kept private and strictly confidential
Step 3: Analyze data
Our team analyzes and evaluates all of the data, documents, and financial information we’ve gathered
Using sophisticated investment planning software programs, we determine strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in your current financial situation
We evaluate the viable options for achieving your established goals/objectives
Step 4: Develop the plan
We present the plan recommendations and all available alternative options to you
We devise a formal Investment Policy Statement (IPS) and a Dynamic Asset Allocation
We identify and help develop strategies and solutions for tax planning and reduction, college education planning for children/grandchildren, insurance planning and risk management, retirement planning and benefits, charitable and philanthropic giving, and estate planning strategies
Step 5: Implement the plan
We implement the recommendations of the plan by identifying and helping to select specific strategies, solutions, products, and services
In this stage, we will work closely with your other service providers and professionals, such as accountants/CPAs, lawyers, estate planners, etc.
We may look to scale into or out of individual investment holdings to help minimize taxes, as well as various market timing risks
Step 6: Meet to review the plan
We will schedule a time to meet with you and review the plan to make sure you are on track to help reach your targeted goals and objectives
We’ll determine the significance of any changes in tax/estate laws, economic conditions, newly available investment techniques, or your personal financial/family situation
When appropriate, we will rebalance the portfolio within the acceptable tolerance bands
Our team will schedule future reviews with you and aggregate data to better understand the “big picture” for customized performance reporting and analytics
