Wealth Building
We listen to your goals and work with you to set specific, written, numeric targets, possibly extending many years into the future. Each year we monitor progress and make adjustments as needed.
The combination of responsible saving habits, solid investments, and thoughtful tax planning is remarkably lucrative over time.
Investments
We choose from thousands of mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), stocks and bonds. We look for strong returns compared to relevant indicies, low annual expense ratios, and above average ratings from published ranking firms. Investments are then tailored to each client depending on their age, risk preference, and specific financial situation. With non-discretionary accounts, the client approves all investments in advance.
We partner with Fidelity Investments or Principal as custodian for most accounts.
