Our 7-Step Process

  • 1. Client Discovery

    We start by listening, getting to get to know you and what is important to you. By understanding your objectives and resources, we build your personal balance sheet, ensuring that all aspects of your wealth will be managed effectively and with purpose.

  • 2. Wealth Mapping

    The insight we gain during the discovery process allows us to create multiple solutions, based on your objectives. These scenarios are then stress tested to determine how each would fare, assuming fluctuating rates of return, inflation and interest rate sensitivity. We can then finalize a management strategy, effectively mapping your wealth to your objectives.

  • 3. Investment Policy

    After gaining a thorough understanding of your investment time horizon, special needs, legacy positions and risk tolerance, we create an investment policy that governs current and future investment decisions. This policy is not static. It must be reviewed regularly and adjusted when your circumstances change, assuring that you remain on course to meet your objectives.

  • 4. Portfolio Construction

    Following the guidelines set forth in your Investment Policy, we construct a customized asset allocation strategy, diversified across market sectors, paying particular attention to tax efficiency and the impact of legacy positions. Within the framework of the allocation strategy, securities are then selected, based upon the long-standing fundamentals of Value Investing, in search of superior, risk-adjusted returns.

  • 5. Risk Management

    Protecting both current and future assets is crucial to effective wealth management. Our analysis extends beyond evaluating the sufficiency of traditional insurance protection such as life, disability, long term care and liability coverages. Utilizing the proper business structures, trust techniques, and ownership registrations can significantly impact the viability of your plan. We do not sell any product, but we do have the expertise to guide you through the process.

  • 6. Estate Planning

    Together we create a plan to protect those closest to you, create opportunities for future generations, and support causes you find most meaningful. We illustrate how your wealth will be distributed and evaluate whether all relevant documents are in place. By using various trusts, planned giving and other techniques, we seek to minimize estate taxes and accomplish your objectives.

  • 7. Monitor & Review

    We continuously monitor your investments and meet with you regularly to review your progress, making sure you remain on course to realize your objectives. We will also use these meetings as opportunities to discuss the ever changing financial and legal landscape and answer any questions you may have.
