Tax focused. Outcome driven.
Planning
We believe
- A comprehensive, written financial plan guides educated and efficient decisions.
- Looking at the world through clients’ eyes and coordinating their personal, business, and estate visions and goals can help produce the greatest outcomes. In solving risk-based needs first, protecting income safeguards the creation of wealth.
- Each dollar has a unique and time-specific job description: growth, liquidity, education, retirement income, lifestyle enhancement, and dream home.
- In the employment and integration of non-market correlated, tax efficient, safe assets.
- In proactively managing investments according to modern portfolio theory in alignment with the client's plan and employing professionally created portfolios.
- Planning for children addresses both intellectual preparation and fostering financial independence.
- In creating a distribution plan to optimize a family's retirement readiness and safeguard their assets and their future.
- In inter-generational planning through proper estate strategies and building relationships with our client's parents and children.
The process of planning is more important than the plan itself.
Investments
We believe
- In 7-Dimensional diversification - Asset, style, manager, time, tax, location, and behavior.
- In employing professionally created, objectively researched, multi-manager portfolios.
- Benchmarking and aligning investment decisions to the needs of a client's plan over performing to an index.
- Disciplined rebalancing of portfolios (strategically and opportunistically) can potentially reward the investor greater long-term growth and value.
- Consistent contributions to a client's strategy regardless of market direction or recent performance.
- Integrating and optimizing investments with life insurance, annuities, and long-term care planning can help secure long-term goals.
- The greatest determinant of investment outcomes is how an investor responds to market corrections.
