Putting your financial life in sync with your actual life by pursuing what matters most to you

Investment management

Liquidity. Longevity. Legacy.

Our approach starts with questions and a discussion that help us focus on what’s really important to you. Then, we can help you organize your financial life into three key strategies: Liquidity—to help provide cash flow for short-term expenses, Longevity—for longer-term needs and Legacy—for needs that go beyond your own.

Liquidity
Longevity
Legacy

To help maintain your lifestyle

This strategy helps you manage cash flow for near-term expenses. It can give you the confidence to fund short-term needs regardless of the markets, and helps reduce the likelihood of making impulsive investment decisions during periods of market volatility.

Entertainment and travel
Taxes
Purchasing a home

To help improve your lifestyle

This strategy includes the resources you’ll need over the course of your life. It can help you gain confidence in your future by allowing you to shift your focus to meeting long-term goals rather than trying to outperform the markets.

Retirement
Healthcare and long-term care expenses
Second home

To help improve the lives of others

This strategy includes all of the resources for needs that go beyond your own. Having a Legacy strategy can boost your confidence by reframing risk based on specific legacy goals and longer timeframes.

Giving to family
Philanthropy
Wealth transfer over generations

Time frames may vary. Strategies are subject to individual client goals, objectives and suitability. This approach is not a promise or guarantee that wealth, or any financial results, can or will be achieved.

Al investments involve the risk of loss, including the risk of loss of the entire investment.

Financial planning

We gather insights about your unique personal and financial situation so that we can build an individually tailored financial plan. Then we track your plan’s progress, communicate regularly and make adjustments for life changes and economic conditions.

Retirement planning
Our team can work with you to help preserve your lifestyle and livelihood in retirement. We will help you understand such influences as risk and investment time horizon, evaluate your current asset allocation and help you maximize your Social Security benefits.

Insurance
We view insurance as a tool to protect your family’s assets, replace income and create a legacy for future generations and philanthropic beneficiaries. We objectively analyze all your current policies—including long-term care—to determine whether they meet current and future needs.

Trust and estate planning strategies
We have the experience and the network to address the complexities of your advanced planning needs. We can help protect your assets, reduce estate tax exposure, transition wealth to future generations and pursue philanthropic endeavors.

Tax strategies
Through open and continuous dialogue with your tax professionals, we’ll review your returns and prepare an integrated strategy. We can create tax-efficient portfolios and construct highly customized family gifting solutions.

Philanthropy
Many clients underappreciate the impact of being thoughtful about their giving. We’ll work with you and family members to provide education on philanthropy and participation strategies for the next generation. Our advice includes assessments of your current charitable goals, contributions and associations.
