Our framework for collaborative financial decisions
Individual investments and the markets fluctuate over time and, as professionals, it is our job to enable you to make informed financial decisions using the full complement of resources at our disposal. So to help you manage and preserve the rewards of your success, we employ a process that draws on both our experience and conservative advisory approach, as well as the industry-leading strength and support of Raymond James.
This process provides a framework for making decisions collaboratively – applying not only our insight and recommendations, but those of our clients and their outside advisors as well – and monitoring the outcome of those decisions over time.
-
We realize the importance of investing time upfront to listening and getting to know you – building a good understanding of your personal goals, current financial situation, investment experience and risk tolerance. It’s also an opportunity to build trust and rapport, make you aware of our capabilities and explain the ways we can help you meet your objectives.
-
Next, we will analyze what you’ve shared with us in order to design your comprehensive financial plan, taking into account the different pieces of your financial picture and make sure they cohesively fit together without any gaps or disparities. This step may include collaborating with your other professional advisors such as your accountant and lawyer. We present our recommendations to you, answer your questions, consider alternatives and outline the steps we need to take to implement your plan.
-
With your approval, we will execute your customized strategy using the extensive research and resources available to us. This involves the selection of specific account types, investment products and optional services, and the handling of all necessary paperwork.
-
Once your plan is implemented, we will review the progress of your plan relative to your defined objectives and suggest any changes where needed. We accomplish this by providing ongoing reporting of your account activity and by conducting periodic reviews. We purposely maintain a close connection with you, so we are in step with your life and aware of any changes in your life that may warrant a revision to your plan.
