Our process

 

How We Help

We help families achieve their financial goals by providing careful ongoing advice through our high-net worth capabilities.

True wealth management is much more than simply investing money - it encompasses all parts of a family's financial situation including portfolio management, financial planning, retirement planning, insurance planning, estate planning and tax planning.

In order for your family to comfortably meet its financial goals you must address your overall financial health and not just your investment management needs. Achieving true wealth is much more than simply buying a basket of Exchange Traded Funds - it takes careful and astute long-term planning. Achieving long-term financial stability is challenging, takes hard work and careful planning. This is where we come in.

Our Process

All of our client relationships begin the same way - a relaxed meeting consisting of a straightforward exchange of ideas.

We believe that listening is critical to the process as it allows you to clearly express your objectives and challenges, ensuring we clearly understand your financial situation and unique goals. During our initial complimentary face-to-face meeting, expect us to listen carefully to your needs, and to have a frank and open discussion about your goals and expectations.

Wealth Influences Every Aspect of Your Life

Instead of offering a generic solution, our team is committed to personalizing financial strategies for every client. Through every phase of your financial cycle, we will make certain that you have a clear vision of your progress. On your request, we will conduct reviews so we can adjust and update your wealth plan according to the changes in your life.

Wealth management is a lifetime process composed of many small steps. What we strive to provide is not simply a service, but an opportunity for you to truly understand your own wealth, so you can tap into its potentials to enrich your life experience.

Gauging The Financial Risks You Face

We will help you to examine your current situation to derive realistic goals with a measurable timeline. We will also help you to gauge the financial risks you face and find solutions that protect your wealth. When you retire, you will enter a different financial phase. Prior to this we will help you to draw a blueprint on how to create sustainable income, how to maintain your lifestyle and how to support your loved ones in the coming years. We will help you to discover a strategy that works for you and your family.

A Second Opinion Is Only the First Choice

Committing to a financial strategy is a hard decision. Without sufficient experience, every financial plan could seem like the right one.

However, to have a real choice, you must have a basis of comparison. The financial industry is riddled with one-size-fits-all packages. While these offer a partial solution, they also leave many opportunities unexplored. Worse yet, a financial strategy is a long-term plan with slow effects. How do you know you have a strategy that is perfect for you?

We care more about the happiness of our clients than the quantity of the people we advise. We tend to ask questions other wealth management professionals neglect. We believe that much can be revealed in the way advisors connect with their clients, so we try to engage our clients on a profound level that results in a truly customized solution. Perhaps the plan you have is a perfect fit, but perhaps it addresses only some of your needs. When a second opinion is readily available, why take a chance when you don't have to?

I.  Financial Planning Steps

My mother-in-law has often said that it isn’t about how much you make but rather about how much you keep. A sound financial plan will ensure that your family achieves their financial goals and grows their wealth steadily over time.
