Fiduciary Pledge

Our fee-only structure is simple and transparent. As a fiduciary investment advisor, our client's best interests and goals are always put ahead of our own. 

Our Investment Process

We first identify your investment goals, objectives, and risk tolerance. Then we follow a structured process to establish your target asset allocation and build you a goals-based investment portfolio tailored to your specific goals and objectives.

1) Identify Your Goals and Objectives

We start by working with you to identify and understand your time horizon, goals, objectives, liquidity needs, and attitude toward investing. This entails you completing a client profile questionnaire and one or more personal conversations with your advisor. 

3) Tax-Smart Implementation

We take a comprehensive and tax-smart approach that integrates your asset allocation across all your accounts instead of considering each account in a silo. If you have any existing concentrated stock positions, we utilize strategies to manage the associated tax implications while working towards your target alocation.

2) Develop an Asset Allocation Strategy

Based on your goals and objectives identified in step 1, we will craft you a personalized asset allocation to maximize your returns relative to your risk tolerance. Determining the most appropriate asset allocation policy is paramount to your investment strategy.

4) Ongoing Management and Montitoring

We manage and monitor your portfolio on an ongoing basis, re-balancing and tax-loss harvesting when appropriate. Over time, your portfolio can drift away from the targeted allocation. When applicable, we'll make adjustments to ensure your portfolio remains aligned with your goals and objectives.
