Why Clients Choose Us

Our story began in 1994, the year we opened our doors. Our vision was simple: put clients first and help them protect and grow their wealth over time. We build strong relationships with our clients, learning about their lives, families, professions, hopes, and dreams.

Trust is earned. We built our firm to be on the same side of the table as our clients. We wanted to eliminate any motivation that did not align with their best interests. We are fee only, providing financial planning and acting as true fiduciaries. Our only vested interest is in the fulfillment of our client’s’ goals. There are no commissions or hidden fees. The process and costs are transparent.

Over the years, we have navigated the financial landscape to help clients while all along holding steadfast to the belief that people deserve the freedom to enjoy life today and tomorrow.

Two parts to the process – financial planning and investment management.

We begin by learning everything we can about your financial goals, life experiences, family, comfort with risks, and more. Then, we roll up our sleeves and get to work with you by our side completing a financial plan.

We then build investment portfolios individually tailored to meet your goals. The investments are value- oriented, balanced, and globally diversified with a steadfast focus on long-term growth. Decisions are based on long-term fundamentals rather than short-term price considerations.

We can serve as the hub your financial life, collaborating with accountants, attorneys, and other professional advisors. This way, all decisions are in line with your long-term objectives.

We understand that wealth has to do with a lot more than money. Our vision remains serving you.

As fiduciaries, we are legally bound by the Fiduciary Standard. The five core principles of the Fiduciary Standard are:

1. Put the client’s best interests first.
2. Act with prudence; that is, with the skill, care, diligence, and good judgment of a professional.
3. Do not mislead clients; provide conspicuous, full, and fair disclosure of all important facts.
4. Avoid conflicts of interests.
5. Fully disclose and fairly manage, in the clients’ favor, unavoidable conflicts.
