Our Practice
Our job is to be the sun: With so much unpredictability in our clients’ lives, we stay in the center, reliable and consistent.
Current Climate vs. Long Term
The news is louder than it has ever been – and when people are unsettled by the news, they respond by seeking more news. Studies have shown that the more media people consume, the more confused and anxious they get. Clickbait leads to doom scrolling, which leads to catastrophizing. When clients reach out to us, we help them make sense of all the information and remind them of our plan. We remind them of the strategy we’ve created based on everything we know about our clients. It always feels worse and different when you’re in it, which is why we offer our client that calming voice of reason.
That’s also the nature of our investment management discipline. When a stock is performing well, that’s when we ask if there’s room to run or if it’s time to sell – because while it can feel like the wrong thing, “selling high” is a fundamental principle of investing. When a high-quality stock is not performing well, that’s when we ask if it’s prudent to buy more at a discount – because while it can feel like the wrong thing, “buying low” is also a fundamental principle of investing. This is what an advisor does: We take the emotion out of financial decisions to guide our clients toward the best possible outcome.
Here for the Unexpected
The last thing that someone wants to do when they are grieving a loss, navigating divorce, or facing health issues is to navigate subsequent changes alone. That’s what we’re here for, and we’re really good at it. The world throws all of us curveballs that are never expected – that’s the nature of life. We have personally gone through those difficult moments, and we care for our clients the same way we care for our own family. We are here for our clients when life gets hard.
Multigenerational Planning
While we have two decades of experience in financial planning, we are still a relatively young practice, and that creates a level of investment that isn’t necessarily found everywhere else. We will be doing this for a long time to come. We will be there through some of the biggest moments of your life, building and shaping the life that you want, adjusting when you need to adjust and fully understanding the picture of your finances over a significant period of time.
We also work across generations. Many people looking to partner with us say they’re worried their wealth isn’t being preserved for the next generation – so let’s include the next generation in the conversation. Helping you care for the important people in your life – that’s what we’re here for.
