Investment Process

Understanding your entire financial picture is necessary for developing an effective strategy.  Items that may be addressed include:

  • Risk assessment
  • Tax implications
  • Specific goals and priorities
  • Establishing an emergency fund and investment plan for short-term needs
  • Estate planning strategies, such as titling assets and naming beneficiaries, that may help avoid probate
  • Other specific items

We try to limit our guidance to investments that we believe are best-in-class in different areas.  Our determination is that diversification through professional money managers helps our clients pursue their financial goals and stay out of overconcentration situations.
