Estate planning is one of the most important aspects of your family’s long-term wealth management. We work with our clients and their attorneys to draw up a plan that includes wills, trusts, and guardians for minor children, if necessary. We help people see in concrete terms what their estate plan actually does and how it should be managed during their lifetime and beyond. We facilitate continuity between generations and peace of mind by having the mechanics of strategic wealth transfer in place, minimizing legal costs and tax implications, and pushing down assets to future generations.

We review your retirement goals to help you understand your options. We walk you through different scenarios, taking into consideration time, potential market trends, your expenses and cost of living. Depending on your needs, we can help you roll over qualified retirement plans into an IRA and evaluate options for lump sums of cash from nonqualified benefit plans or stock options. Together with your accountants, we provide tax forecasts to help manage your goals and investments during retirement.

We develop financial goals that reflect our clients’ values and a customized investment portfolio to meet these goals. We create a high-quality portfolio that has the potential for consistent growth over time, emphasizing long-term core holdings of individual securities. Our analysis strategy is top-down: we start from an overall assessment of the economy, identifying sectors that will do well, and then select the strongest companies, crafting a diversified portfolio that can weather market ups and downs.

We are tax-sensitive investment advisors who understand it’s not always what you make but what you keep that counts. For investors in higher tax brackets, strategic tax planning is crucial. We work to minimize taxes while maximizing investment returns. In some cases, taxes can be directed through charitable donations and endowment funds that support the causes you care about.

Wealth management is more than just investing. It’s taking a holistic approach to the entire financial picture and creating an optimal strategy that takes all of the factors that impact it into account. We create a free flow of information between experts and their various fields so that we can work together as a team to provide you with the right solutions.
