We employ a highly organized process for becoming a client, establishing our relationship and serving you for the long term. It gives us an orderly way to identify relevant strategies for moving forward and fully addressing your needs.

    Specific written goals and objectives with performance benchmarks

  • Planning meeting

    Present detailed breakdown of current and proposed plan, including fees and benchmarks

    We believe in constructing disciplined portfolios designed to minimize costs, tax liability and volatility, while providing the opportunity to outperform your benchmark. To accomplish this, we may use the following if appropriate for you:

    • Individual stocks
    • Individual bonds
    • Options strategies
    • Exchange traded funds (ETFs)
    • Mutual funds (both index and actively managed)
    • Annuities (both fixed and variable)
    • Alternative investments (unit trusts, managed futures and REITs)
  • Commitment meeting

    Both parties agree to move forward. Begin account transfer process.

  • Organizational meeting

    Organize paperwork, website login

  • Progress checks

    Updates on performance and progress toward goals

  • Comprehensive review

    Analyze additional financial needs, including insurance, tax planning, estate planning and charitable giving

There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Investing involves risk and investors may incur a profit or a loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results
