Step 1. Getting to know you

During our initial meeting, we listen as you explain about your goals, needs, dreams and challenges. Through our conversation, we uncover the details of your financial life and carefully consider if we are a good fit to work together. We discuss your long-term and short-term goals, priorities, and the investment strategies you already have in place. We share information about our team and answer any of your questions.

 

Step 2. Analyzing your financial picture

Before we can develop your plan, we need to know your complete financial experience. We  help gather information and details of your current financial situation. We start with your life and help plan your money around it. Our deep analytical approach and comprehensive evaluation includes understanding your risk tolerance, dreams and priorities, retirement goals, estate investment planning needs risk management and insurance needs.

Insurance products are offered through nonbank insurance agency affiliates of Wells Fargo & Company and are underwritten by unaffiliated insurance companies.


Step 3. Recommending your customized plan

Our next step is to present our recommendations. Combining Wells Fargo Advisors’ Envision planning technology with our planning experience, we provide you with an assessment of your complete financial picture. As we implement the plan, we document your goals and begin to review your progress toward reaching them.

 

Step 4. Reviewing your progress AAA 2023 Target-Zone-graph-01.jpg

Our Envision planning process puts your financial picture in focus.









IMPORTANT: The projections or other information generated by Envision regarding the likelihood of various investment outcomes are hypothetical in nature, do not reflect actual investment results and are not guarantees of future results. Results may vary with each use and over time. Envision methodology: Based on accepted statistical methods, the Envision tool uses a simulation model to test your Ideal, Acceptable and Recommended Investment Plans. The simulation model uses assumptions about inflation, financial market returns and the relationships among these variables. These assumptions were derived from analysis of historical data. Using Monte Carlo simulation, the Envision tool simulates 1,000 different potential outcomes over a lifetime of investing varying historical risk, return, and correlation amongst the assets. Some of these scenarios will assume strong financial market returns, similar to the best periods of history for investors. Others will be similar to the worst periods in investing history. Most scenarios will fall somewhere in between.
