Our Process
Our first two meetings are always complimentary.
Our first meeting is typically fairly casual and lighthearted as we get to know you on a personal level and learn which areas of your financial life may need our assistance. We hope to build an understanding of how your past experiences have shaped your view of investing and retirement planning.
After gathering your relevant information, we build what we refer to as an “Initial Case Analysis”.
Our second meeting is to review and explain your complimentary Initial Case Analysis. Our advisors will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of your financial life as it currently stands. The Initial Case Analysis will walk you through your net worth statement, discuss potential pitfalls and planning opportunities, and touch on how we may be able to improve your situation. If you are in or nearing retirement, we will present current retirement projections and discuss potential adjustments we feel are in your best interest.
Our team does not believe in high-pressure sales tactics and wants your decision to engage us to be made on your terms. Below is a more detailed look at the ongoing financial plannning process.
Phase I: Discovery
We begin this stage during our initial meeting where we get to know one another. We focus on what your specific needs are and what you want your investment capital to do for you.
Phase II: Strategy
The primary objective of this stage is to develop an effective, long-term investment strategy that is custom-tailored to the unique needs of each client. We then develop a comprehensive plan that outlines the strategy we recommend for long-term success.
Phase III: Implementation
The primary objective of this phase is to successfully implement your investment strategy. By means of constant communication and a highly skilled staff, we strive to make this process quick and easy for you.
Phase IV: Monitoring & Adjusting
We monitor our clients' accounts on a regular basis to ensure they are still performing in a way that meets their intention. When we discover that a client’s circumstances have changed, or that shifting global markets require a different investing approach, we are quick to make adjustments.
