I have built my financial services practice around a singular idea. People want objective advice without a sales pitch agenda. In order for clients to make wise decisions regarding college, retirement or estate planning including inter-generational asset transfer plans, they need to know what they don’t know.
I have an innate sense on how to communicate complicated information in regular everyday terms that people can understand. From there, having access to some of the best institutional investment management firms along with their individual research teams and portfolio managers, as well as independent information gathered from my own efforts, it creates the foundation for making proper individualized investment allocation decisions for each client.
The ingredients we need to have are multiple equity and fixed income asset classes, and a wealth of alternative investments combined with managers who use very sophisticated portfolio optimization algorithms and a holistic approach. When these components are combined with a very robust and disciplined process for accessing the macro economic outlook, capital markets assumptions and the personal needs for each client, a proper plan can be deployed to manage risk in the volatile investing environment we live in today.
