Achieving Your Financial Goals

We are an independent, fee-only wealth management practice and a member of the Financial Planning Division of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. We focus our practice on working exclusively with high-net-worth individuals, families, and institutional clients towards achieving their financial goals through comprehensive planning and the management of personal and institutional investment portfolios.

As an Investment Advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), we maintain a Fiduciary relationship with our clients, the highest standard of care. Fiduciaries have a legal responsibility to give you advice that is in your best interest. When you work with us, you can be assured that we will be fully devoted to doing what is best for you. All of our recommendations are based solely on how it best serves your near and long-term goals.

Focusing on You

What does success look like to you? This is one of the first questions we ask when working with you to achieve your financial goals. When we understand where you are today, and how you envision your life and the lives of your family in the future, only then can we start talking about financial planning and your investment management strategy.

Our clients say that working with us is like working with a trusted friend. As fee-only fiduciaries, we are not compensated by any investment product sponsors or from any of the investment recommendations that we make. Our sole mandate is to protect and grow your assets in a way that is always aligned with your best interests.

We help create restful nights for our clients knowing they have a plan that can render the market’s daily volatility irrelevant to their future prosperity. Our streamlined process helps you focus on the things that matter most so you can enjoy your life more. Together, we create a comprehensive plan that gives you greater confidence in realizing your most important financial objectives.

What You Can Expect

From Financial Planning to Investment Management, we design and implement strategies to give you financial confidence. You can rest assured knowing you have an advisor who has your best interests at heart. Core to our process is providing financial education to our clients. We want you to truly understand your customized plan, the investment strategies we deploy, and how they work together to meet your goals. Transparency is key to who we are and what we do. The more you understand the plan, the more peace of mind you will have.

Expect us to:

  • Get to know you and understand your goals and objectives. That philosophy stems from a desire to build a long-term relationship with you.
  • Sit down with you to understand your individual goals and learn about your concerns around wealth and your life.
  • Spend time with you in confidential conversations about financial and nonfinancial issues ranging from your career, assets, and liabilities to family members and personal health concerns.
  • Build a plan that integrates all aspects of your financial life and future goals with the objective of removing uncertainty and providing you clarity and confidence in your financial future.
  • Take the time to carefully explain our strategies to you and educate you throughout the process.
  • Revisit and refine your plan on a regular basis to guide you on the most appropriate path to your goals based on changes in your life.

The process begins with a discovery phone call. Contact us at 303.296.2229 to get a conversation started.

What Our Services Cost

We are a fee-only registered investment advisor which means we charge an investment advisory fee based on a percentage of your assets under our management. As fee-only fiduciaries, we are not compensated by any investment product sponsors, rather, our desire is to grow your assets in a way that is always aligned with your best interests. Our advice is unbiased – we do not sell insurance products or any financial products and we do not accept any form of commissions as compensation.

We charge a flat fee for the initial financial plan. It varies based on the complexity of your plan, but it is straightforward and spelled out in advance. As an investment advisory client you do not have to pay for ongoing and regular updates to your financial plan – it is part of the advisory services we provide.

In general, we have new client relationships starting at a minimum of $2 million in investable assets.  The relationship minimum, however, may be subject to waiver or negotiation.

We consider ourselves stewards of the wealth that you’ve built, helping you to protect it and continuing to grow it. Whether you’re approaching retirement, already retired, a corporate executive, small business owner, or have recently been divorced or widowed, we’d welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

The Process

1. Discovery Phone Call

The discovery phone call is a casual, candid, and confidential conversation to learn about who you are and why you are seeking financial consulting. We answer any questions you have about us and our process and together we’ll determine if we are a good fit for each other. We know your time is valuable, so we try to keep this initial call to 30 – 45 minutes.

2. Discovery Meeting

The in-person discovery meeting takes place at our offices and lasts about 90 minutes where we’ll explore your goals, needs, and expectations. Once we start to learn about who you are, where you’d like to be and what’s most important to you, we’ll begin assembling all of that input into a plan for you.  We collaborate with you to consider your values, tax and estate planning, liquidity needs, and your unique risk tolerance to develop a comprehensive plan that will help you navigate the next chapters of your life.

3. Financial Planning

Our Financial Planning process consists of evaluating and integrating all aspects of your financial life into a single plan tailored to your individual goals and objectives. The plan provides a concise and quantitative framework to help you achieve financial security. All of this is done to help you identify and accomplish what is most important to you and your family. Ultimately, the plan is a guide to help you live the life you want now, and in the future, and will adapt with you during your life’s many changes.

4. Investment Plan

Based on your personalized plan, we then develop an investment plan that will identify the best investment strategy to achieve your goals. This consists of developing an Investment Policy Statement that serves as a roadmap describing how your investments will be handled in a coordinated fashion and in line with your overall financial planning needs. Your Investment Policy Statement is composed in a manner that aligns your unique risk tolerance and investment constraints with a targeted rate of return constructed to meet your near and long-term goals.

5. Investment Management

Our ongoing investment management services build upon the conclusions reached in your financial plan and are driven by your Investment Policy Statement guidelines. Our investment management core competency is to construct institutional-quality, broadly diversified portfolios that minimize risk, fees, and taxes to the level necessary to achieve your unique long-term targeted rate of return. You will benefit from our focus on low cost, tax-efficient and globally-diversified investment portfolios.

6. Monitor – Regular Reviews

The apex of this process is close and regular contact with you to assess your changing needs, review our strategies for reaching your financial goals, and gauging your investment performance relative to your custom targeted rate of return. You can count on us for continuous evaluation of your overall plan and investment strategies along with making adjustments as your life unfolds. We provide a continuum of support and advice to you and your family, for generations to come. We view our relationship with you as a true partnership as our success is dependent upon the attainment of your financial goals.
