TOGETHER WE CAN TAKE THE GUESSWORK OUT OF YOUR FINANCIAL FUTURE.

Our investment process has three important steps:

1. How much risk should I take?  This is your risk number.

Every investor needs to be heard. Cautious investors may need to gently take more risk, just as aggressive investors may need to capture gains and take less risk. We work with you to find the right balance and an asset allocation that makes sense. We promise straight talk that’s focused on pursuing your financial goals.

2. What’s the right portfolio for me?  Portfolio built to match your risk number.

Once you have the right asset allocation, you have choices about how you can invest. How do you feel about taxes? About different geographies? How much volatility can you live with and still sleep at night? Your preferences provide direction for your adviser to select the style and type of securities you will own. There’s no cookie cutter.

3. How do I stay on track?

Life and the financial markets have something in common: things change. This is where having knowledge and a disciplined process is critical. We monitor everything that can affect your investments, and we’ll make adjustments such as re-balancing or changing managers when it’s needed. We meet with you regularly, provide quarterly reports and on-line access so you’re not in the dark. It’s up to you how much you want to be engaged, but you’ll know we are on top of things.
