Let Us Be Your Partner
Managing your investments can feel complicated because there are endless choices and voices. Our goal is to quiet the noise and partner with you to manage your money.
In your discovery meeting, we talk through your cash flow needs, risk tolerance, goals, past experience with money, and what led you to seek guidance.
We use model portfolios for most retirement accounts to provide consistency, simplicity, risk tolerance alignment and lower expense ratios. For taxable accounts, we incorporate both model and customized portfolios, taking into account tax sensitivity, including existing concentrated stock positions and long-term capital gains.
Some clients prefer a more hands-off approach, while others want some individual stock selection within their overall strategy. We can help with both. These are your hard-earned savings, and we want you to feel involved.
We also help coordinate how your portfolio can pay you. We balance growth with risk, and how to turn investments into usable income. That can be withdrawals for monthly living expenses or one-time needs like vacations or tax payments.
All of this is delivered through a transparent advisory fee that can include both ongoing investment management and financial planning services.
Our Investment Process
Goals & Risk Conversation
We discuss your goals, risk tolerance, willingness to take losses, and need for cash flow. We also review your current financial situation and what led you to seek guidance. We will answer "Do I need an advisor?".
Investment Strategy
We then recommend either a model portfolio or a customized strategy that accounts for existing holdings, tax considerations, and your overall financial picture.
We will assist you in the electronic documentation process from beginning to end.
Ongoing Management
We manage your portfolio over time with monthly to quarterly touchpoints depending on your needs. We make adjustments as markets, taxes, and your income needs change. All with an eye on fees and tax implications.
Planning & Support
You receive access to financial planning software that brings all your accounts together for a holistic view of your finances, including an on-demand net worth snapshot. Education resources are available to help you better understand your investment decisions.
