People who are passionate about what they do naturally gravitate toward those who share common ground on a fundamental level.
For us, our family wealth focus grew out of our tendency to surround ourselves with people who shared our core values – like family life, legacy and prosperity. At the same time, our professional capabilities grew out of our determination to find ever-improving ways to pursue, track and achieve client objectives. This led us to acquire expert knowledge in areas like tax-efficient growth and advanced estate strategies, which we now deliver to our clients as an independent firm focused exclusively on their individual needs.
Altogether, what's developed over the course of more than 20 years is an extraordinary set of multigenerational family relationships, and a specialized platform through which we can serve them with complete objectivity.
As a result of the freedom and objectivity that independence provides us, we can identify best-in-class service providers and deliver a deeper level of customization throughout the client relationship. We designed our advisory process to leverage our resources for the purpose of guiding clients toward their family wealth goals.
We facilitate a relationship framework conversation that outlines what you can expect from us throughout our advisory relationship, including ongoing services and communication mandates.
We meet with you to establish a foundational understanding of your family’s values, to review our 15 Key Wealth Considerations, and to define goals for your financial security and family wealth.
In collaboration with our in-house team and any relevant professionals in our family office network, we construct a comprehensive family wealth plan, lifetime cash flow projections and an investment strategy aligned with your goals and risk tolerance.
Once we present our recommendations to you, we initiate a systematic implementation process to help ensure that all applicable steps are taken to follow through on your wealth plan.
We periodically review your asset allocations to account for shifting market, economic and investor sentiment conditions, and we regularly adjust your living plan as life evolves.
In addition to hosting your annual Comprehensive Checkup, we are your family’s resource for exploring new ideas, staying financially organized and making strategic wealth decisions.
