Our investment management service is very consultative. We know each client’s needs are unique and we work to make sure we address them. Dialogue is ongoing and fluid as life is, we adjust plans as circumstances see fit and are in regular communication with our clients.
We are supported by the largest independent Broker/Dealer, LPL Financial,* so our product offerings, back office support and service ability is exceptional.
General steps in the investment management process include:
Step 1 – Review Current Portfolio
We first review your current investment portfolio. We analyze this information identifying areas for improvement such as a lack of diversification, appropriateness of investments, underperformance and fees. We want to make sure your investments are working for you.
Step 2 – Construct Optimal Portfolio
Next, we want to design the optimal portfolio for you based on a complete picture of your financial needs. We take into consideration specifics to you such as; investments held in 401(k), cash need and risk profile. Each client is different and we want to make sure your financial needs are addressed through a customized portfolio.
Step 3 – Execution
The third part of our process is achieved through us building your optimal portfolio. We provide the documentation to set up and transfer your accounts to make the process as seamless as possible. We take all investment implications into review for example, tax liability, timing considerations and unique preferences. Upon approval, we execute the appropriate transactions to optimize your investment portfolio.
Step 4 – Monitor, Review and Adjust
The final step is achieved through us providing ongoing and collaborative support to you in all facets of your financial wellbeing. We will be there to address financial issues, concerns and questions as they come up. We will review your portfolio with you when desired and will make appropriate changes as needed.
