Planning Philosophy
We understand the purpose of your wealth is to support your health, your loved ones, and your legacy. As life progresses, financial planning cedes to retirement planning which in turn cedes to estate planning. Maximizing the use of your wealth for the purposes that are dear to you requires careful planning. Our expertise as corporate trustees allows us to provide the care, financial prowess, and estate tax expertise needed to guide this process.
Your wealth, health and relationships are interrelated when it comes to your financial success. We believe that proactive life stage planning—taking into account how these three areas are correlated—increases your probability of success in preserving and growing your wealth so that you can live the lifestyle that you deserve.
Planning Process
Together, we will build a plan to obtain your goals. Our process will take you through several steps which successively build upon each other. The plan is updated regularly to incorporate changing goals and prioritizes actions based on your needs. Success is difficult without a plan against which to measure results. The process will create the guideposts that will ensure attainment of your goals. Investment returns, asset allocation, and risk tolerance are matched to increase the probability of success.
