it starts with listening. We ask questions—regarding your needs and dreams, your tolerance for risk, your time horizon—and then listen. it’s an ongoing process through which we strive to learn all we can about you, your family, your business (if applicable) as well as your short- and long-term goals. This period of “discovery” helps us make informed recommendations and design a flexible wealth management plan that is uniquely yours.

We Work to understand the Full Scope of Your Financial Picture

To begin our process, we suggest

that you take a fresh inventory of

your wealth, including where each

asset is located and what it is worth.

Following, we will schedule a meet-

ing where we will begin by exploring

many questions to try to capture

what matters most to you and fully

understand what you want to

accomplish with your wealth.

We will talk about you, the kind of

lifestyle you enjoy, what worries

you and what you are passionate

about. our conversation will

explore your values, key relationships,

total assets, preferred manner of

communication, as well as identify

the other professional advisors with

whom you work. That way, our team

can help you determine how all the

facets of your financial situation

could dovetail effectively.

Based on your input, the team will

analyze your personal and financial

information, including liabilities,

assess risks and identify potential

threats to your financial health.

We will present you with a

personalized wealth plan that can

help address your income and cash

flow needs, borrowing requirements,

asset protection, retirement planning,

wealth transfer, philanthropy and

other areas beyond investment

management. By taking the

additional time to carefully review

these topics, we hope to make

you comfortable with proposed

investment strategies and service

providers before implementing

your wealth plan.

after you have approved your

wealth plan, we will work closely

with you to implement it, bringing

an objective approach, and paying

special attention to how the various

parts of your wealth plan can af-

fect, enhance and integrate with

each other. Wherever appropriate,

we will suggest seeking additional,

in-depth advice on particularly

complex issues we have identified,

including family dynamics, estate

and more. Whatever approach we

decide on, the team will help you

keep your investments on track.
