The Five Pillars of the Wealth Planning Approach

Financial Planning

The primary goal is to make you financially stable and comfortable. We do this through regular checkups on your net worth, current asset mix, and progress statements.  We also ensure your retirement strategy and financial goals are being met while giving you the means to plan current expenses.

 

Portfolio Selection

We choose the appropriate combination of stocks and bonds through the best mutual fund money managers that will meet your risk and return needs. We do this by diversification and account rebalancing to achieve the best possible risk-adjusted returns. 

 

Risk Mitigation

Our risk mitigation process is optimized in your portfolio by regular monitoring of economic conditions and review of money managers to correctly allocate assets to reduce investment risks.  We also advise on other risks such as life, disability, critical illness and long-term care insurance*. 

 

Tax Planning

We work to maximize your after-tax rate of return  by designing your portfolio and cash flow to minimize the amount of income tax you pay by regularily monitoring client's individual situation and ever-changing income tax rules.

 

Estate Planning

The objective of estate planning is to ensure you distribute your estate to those who you want to benefit at the appropriate time in an efficient and tax effective manner.
