  • The key difference between 十大博彩网站评级亚洲博彩平台排名公司.L.C. and other wealth management firms is our philosophy that your investment portfolio is a piece of your overall financial and life plan; it does not stand alone. Investing your money without first understanding your long-term goals just doesn’t make sense to us. 我们的技术, financial professionals are experienced in first listening to you about your goals, 然后制定行动计划, before ever making recommendations for your investment portfolio. Even if a formal plan is not necessary, we will ask questions to be sure your portfolio is designed to support your situation and needs. Most other "wealth management" companies focus only on investments and not your life goals. Part of the real value added is our consideration of the tax impact, 房地产问题, and other aspects of your situation so that your long-term wealth is maximized. We take pride in the depth of professionally trained staff to provide this expertise.

Q

“My bank/Financial Advisor is offering me a "free" financial plan. 你的计划有什么不同?”

  • The old adage that "you get what you pay for" is very true in this case. The financial plan that you will receive as a client of our firm is both comprehensive and client specific. This means we do not use scripted and overly-simplified, prepackaged planning software often used by large financial institutions. 通常, these types of plans are ultimately used as sales tools to introduce clients to proprietary products. They are often so generalized that they have low value to a client.
  • 在大多数情况下, the safest way to project long-term financial security is to be as exact as possible in using facts and assumptions. We have seen simple plans that led to disastrous decisions and caused retired individuals to have to go back to work.
  • Most financial plans are stagnant and “out-of-date” as soon as they are prepared. We use complex aggregation software to download account values nightly to create a “real-time” financial/life plan. We have the ability to aggregate accounts we manage and even accounts held outside of 十大博彩网站评级亚洲博彩平台排名公司.L.C.
