Who We Are

We are a financial advisory team with a focus on holistic wealth management for affluent and high net worth clients who have the need for comprehensive planning.  We help clients in all the stages of their financial life cycle.  Before clients with significant wealth or clients with a high income start accumulating wealth or experience large liquidity events there are crucial planning needs we can help address.  We work with our clients to tailor asset conservation plans for their portfolios as they plan for retirement.  When our clients' wealth needs to provide them an income we provide advice on tax-efficient income and distribution planning.  We help clients develop a private and customized plan for the transfer of their wealth to their beneficiaries or to philanthropic pursuits.  All of these times in the lives of clients call for personal strategies that are designed to help meet their specific objectives.  We pride ourselves on being good listeners so we can better understand what is truly important to our clients in order to help them accomplish their goals and resolve their financial concerns.

Who We Work With

Individuals, families, business owners and executives who are anticipating a large liquidity event such as the sale of a business or concentrated equity position, a 401(k) or pension distribution, or any other event that may trigger the need for advice on crucial decisions concerning their wealth.  Our goal for clients is comprehensive planning, but we recognize and appreciate the current needs of clients and focus on what may be their most pressing concerns.  We provide advice on planning for changes in the estate tax and gift tax, the implications of inflation or deflation on their investment portfolios, implications of health care reform legislation on business owners, questions on securities that invest in precious metals such as gold and silver, geopolitical events like the turmoil in Egypt and Libya and what higher oil prices may mean to investors, the impact of government deficits, as well as many other important current events that investors should be prepared for.  In uncertain times we believe it is more important than ever to work with an advisory team that is focused on staying informed on crucial economic issues for their clients.

What We Offer 

Significant wealth creates a variety of issues.  Some issues you may be aware of and others you will discover during the course of our investment planning process.  We strive to simplify complex matters for you.  This begins by establishing an advisory relationship that is straightforward and proactive, understanding that your needs drive the process.  We provide advice in areas such as:

• Portfolio Risk Management

Our Philosophy

We follow a detailed process to help clients identify what their priorities are for their wealth and then patiently work with them to create strategies that are designed to help them accomplish their most important goals.  We have a truly unique and disciplined approach to asset management with a focus on managing risk, tax-efficient investment planning, and a goal of consistent compounded rates of return.  We recognize that, even though we may have helped other clients in similar situations, each client relationship will have circumstances that are unique.  We pride ourselves on being extremely good listeners to help you identify your unique circumstances and issues that are important to you personally.   We feel that quality communication will provide us insight as to what values are foremost for you and we can work with you to build a plan based on that foundation.  Our planning process is dynamic and adaptable to changes in your life and financial situation and we enjoy helping clients meet life's changes with confidence.
