We follow a goal-based investing process, meaning that we align the investments with your goals, values, relationships, interests, and other things that are most important to you. Your wealth manager carefully and thoroughly learns these important factors about you and then follows a six-step process to choose the investments and to create your plan for the future.
Our investment committee uses the perspective of outside research firms. We follow a strict belief system in making all these decisions and consistently test our beliefs. Learn more about What We Believe
We believe the right way to invest is to diversify by strategy, remain consistent and invest with high conviction. Each strategy may include individual stocks, mutual funds, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), and other investments.

Phillip started out our first interview with a list of requirements for his investment advisor, including many of the questions we provide in our “Questions to Ask a Financial Planner.” Very detail-oriented and private, he wanted a firm that he knew was excellent but exclusive. He wanted privacy, professionalism and expertise. He didn’t have time to micro-manage the decisions. We:
Phillip is ecstatic about his investment performance, especially during the tumultuous years since he joined our firm. Phillip likes “big ideas,” and we like to share a new investment theme that our team is acting upon for today’s times. Phillip is brilliant, fun and now that he is successfully retired, a philanthropist. He is a joy to work for.
Laura is conservative. She grew up in a military family and she worked her entire career with a high security clearance. She doesn’t mince words and everyone knows how she feels. When she talks about investments, she wants to know when she can spend, and how much, and what are the trade-offs. For Laura, we:
Laura has been a client for over a decade. When she retired, we implemented the plan. She changed course, sold her home and moved to a different state. We were able to pay for all of this using her accounts, with minimal income tax burden, and maximum security. Laura expresses her gratitude whole-heartedly and often. She is surely one of our favorite clients.
The Richards came to us originally because they were worried about paying for her mother’s long-term care needs. Her mom was coming down with Alzheimer’s disease and they knew nothing about her investments. They had no relationship with her stockbroker. Come to find out, mom did not have a good relationship either—her deceased husband chose the firm years ago! As we dove deeper, we learned more about where they were, where they wanted to be, and the gaps we needed to overcome. We:
The Richards family would go on to inherit her mother’s assets and then, go on to pay for their children’s college educations and weddings. They are pleased with the investment performance and our ability to adapt the investments for so many stages of their family’s life: mom’s income, their childrens’ expenses, etc. Now that the hard times have past, the Richards family is looking forward to their own retirement!
