Leading with Active Management

Active Management involves an active process backed by active values.

Proven Process

Our proven 5-step process surfaces your concerns, your wishes, and your needs. We build a disciplined yet flexible long term strategy to address these issues.

Step 1

Let's Talk

Quite simply, we'll have a chat. Get to know each other. Talk about your goals, your wishes. Discuss what may concern you, what may be keeping you up at night.

Step 2

Share Ideas

After our initial meeting, we'll have some ideas and possible solutions to address your concerns. We'll share those strategies with you, and if you like what you hear, we'll take the next step.

Step 3

Financial Plan

Everything we do centers around a financial plan specifically created for you. We'll put together a written, detailed financial plan outlining the key solutions that will address your wishes and needs. This includes:

  • Investment Plan - How we structure your investments to meet your target rate of return.

  • Tax Plan - How to minimize the tax you pay in meeting your goals.

Step 4

Estate and Insurance Plan

In addition to the investment and tax plan, we bring in our professional partners to help complete your financial plan with an estate and insurance plan.

  • Will and Estate Plan - How to efficiently transition your wealth.

  • Insurance Plan - How to insure against an untimely event.

Step 5

Constant Review

Constant review is critical. Most advisors stop after Step 3, creating the initial plan. We believe Step 5 is just as important as Step 3. Are we on plan? Do we need to change anything? Do you have new goals? We constantly review and adjust the financial plan because life is always changing.

Our Unique Values

We're different - in a good way. We think our core values support our disciplined process and sets us apart from other advisors. Many advisors do all the front-end work and forget that monitoring and client servicing is really the bulk of a client-advisor relationship.

Client First Mentality

"Client first" means treating you like we would like to be treated. That means client-centric policies like lower management fees and DSC-free mutual fund purchases.

Service Focus

Client servicing is a top priority for our team. We pride ourselves in responding to client calls and inquires within 24 hours. We'll pick up the phone by the second ring. We'll come see you if you can't come to us. We're here to service you so you'll have one less thing to worry about.


Commitment to Education

We take time to help you understand how your investments work so you're comfortable with the process. But it doesn't stop there - education is important for us as well. Stock and bond markets have become more volatile. By learning more about the markets, we can hopefully lower the volatility of your investments.

Strong Work Ethic

9 to 5 are just numbers to us. We've done late night meetings, weekend get-togethers, and in-home presentations. If you're going to trust us with your lifetime of earnings, we think we should be able to extend ourselves a bit!
