Comprehensive Wealth Management Services
Goal Identification
During your initial meeting(s) with your wealth advisor, you’ll get to know each other at a deeper level. Your wealth advisor will help you identify what to improve, develop or change as it relates to your wealth plan. By reviewing your completed confidential client profile, your wealth advisor will be able to determine your risk tolerance and your long-term financial goals and objectives will be identified to set the foundation of your wealth plan.
Expected Returns and Plan Development
Your wealth advisor will conduct a portfolio stress test against over 50 potential risks to your portfolio and goals. Our model measures the impact of these scenarios on your investments using history as a guide, giving you a clearer picture of the risks to your portfolio. We start by asking questions like, "What happens if the dollar crashes, the economy falls back into recession, or oil prices skyrocket?" - over 50 scenarios in all. Your wealth advisor also reviews your current investments and reviews your current statements. Our goal is to ensure your financial goals and objectives are in line with your level of comfort in taking on risk so your wealth advisor can design a personalized financial roadmap plan that meets your needs.

- Stress Testing Strategy--Have you regularly stress tested your portfolio to protect against losses from 70+ different future potential threats, such as recessions, rising interest rates, volatile oil prices, de-globalization, record debts, etc.?
- Retirement Distribution Strategy--Have you structured your retirement income most tax-efficiently in this low-interest environment, and are you withdrawing the ideal amount so you don’t sacrifice your future standard of living?
- High Dividend Strategy--Have you optimized your portfolio to earn the highest dividends possible while also decreasing volatility and overall risk?
- Social Security Strategy--With over 20,000 Social Security retirement income strategy choices, are you confident you’re maximizing the return on your initial investment of 12.4% of your lifelong paychecks?
