Our Process

Our wealth management process hinges on successful collaboration between our team and our clients. Our process is designed to establish and deepen relationships while implementing strong investment plans built based on decades of wealth management experience.

Wells Fargo Advisors' Envision® Process is designed to identify, define, and help achieve your goals. Combining goals-based advice with sophisticated statistical modeling, this unique process creates an effective, easy-to-understand method for your to prioritize and achieve important life goals.

Our Envision process offers you an effective way to identify your highest-priority goals and develop an investment plan designed to provide you with the wealth you need to live your life the way you want. Instead of tracking your portfolio’s performance against a standardized index, such as the S&P 500, we track your progress toward achieving your life goals on your own fully customized benchmark. It includes:

  • Identifying what is important in your life and helping you prioritize your financial goals
  • Coordinating and integrating cohesive solutions for all your financial affairs, including wills, mortgages, insurance, and “tax-smart” strategies
  • Creating a diversified portfolio based on your objectives, risk tolerance, and investment time horizon
  • Reviewing changes in your circumstances, and adjusting your investment strategy as necessary based on your situation

If your life goals change with time or if fluctuating market conditions alter your plan's results, the Envision process offers the flexibility to make adjustments as necessary.

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.
