RELATIONSHIP-DRIVEN

The relationships we build with our clients are at the forefront of what we do. By focusing on a select clientele, we’re able to offer exceptional service and build personal connections, becoming trusted partners in your estate, lifestyle, and wealth planning.

FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY

As fiduciaries, we always prioritize your best interests first with fee-only transparency. By focusing on understanding your values, we’re able to build personalized financial plans that align with your unique goals and risk tolerance.

EXCLUSIVELY FEE-BASED

No commissions… ever, so our success aligns with yours. We have a fiduciary responsibility to help protect and grow your account; when a client makes more, so do we. That’s the way we believe it should be.

TRULY INDIVIDUALIZED PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

Unlike many firms that prioritize fitting your assets into a generic model, we focus on individualized portfolio management. We consider your unique situation and market conditions to build and manage customized portfolios, not just a cookie-cutter solution.

Safety

Accounts are held at Schwab Institutional in separate accounts in the names of each client and are fully insured, unlike at a hedge fund.

Tactical VS. Buy and Hold

The market can be unpredictable… giving and taking away, that’s why we use a tactical approach to take a stance while simultaneously managing risk. We aim to participate more in good markets while managing risk, helping you benefit more from strong periods and reducing exposure during downturns.

FUNDAMENTAL & TECHNICAL SCREENING OF INVESTMENTS

We use a rigorous selection process to identify investments. This involves analyzing both fundamental factors (a company’s financial health) and technical factors (market trends) to find compelling opportunities.

INDEPENDENCE

As an independent firm, we have the freedom to explore a wider range of opportunities for you. Unlike brokers limited by their firms, we can recommend the best investment options including, stocks, bonds, index and closed-end funds as well as publicly traded real estate (REITs).

401K & RETIREMENT PLAN ROLLOVER ADVISORY

We understand the importance of ongoing management of your retirement savings throughout your career. Unlike other firms, we can manage your existing 401k, offering you comprehensive service now, not just when you transition to a new job. As fiduciaries, we’re legally obligated to act in your best interest, ensuring your current retirement plan is optimized for your financial goals.

IMPACT INVESTING

We know that many investors want to support causes that are near and dear to their hearts. That’s why we offer our Impact Investing, which allows clients to invest with purpose and align a portion of their portfolio with a cause. We even donate 10% of our fees to support your chosen cause.

INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS OWNER RETIREMENT PLANS

We can open and manage an Individual 401(k) plan that allows substantially larger tax deductible or tax-free Roth contributions vs. IRA or SEP-IRAs as high as $76,500 in 2024. Additionally, by maintaining an I-401(k), high-income individuals can be eligible for annual Roth IRA contributions. These I-401(k)s have no set-up or administration fees.
