Working with you to create a comprehensive plan
Our team knows that individual investments and markets can fluctuate over time, and it’s our job to guide you in making informed financial decisions using all the resources at our disposal. We want to help you manage and preserve all that success has brought you, so we use a process that comes partly from experience and partly from a conservative advisory approach. It’s backed up by the strength and support of Raymond James.
It’s a framework for making collaborative decisions that use not only our insight, but yours, and the insights of your other advisors. Then we monitor the outcome of those decisions over time and make adjustments as changes in your life or market conditions warrant.
Understand
Our team will use a variety of tools including questionnaires and interviews to understand your personal goals, current financial situation, investment experience and desired level of risk. In this step, we make you fully aware of our capabilities and provide educational support to assist you in understanding the scope of services we offer to help you meet your objectives.
Design
Our team analyzes the information you share with us and designs strategies intended to help you reach your objectives. This step may involve collaboration with your other planning professionals, such as your CPA and attorney. We present our recommendations to you, answer your questions, consider alternatives and outline the steps we need to take to implement your plan.
Implement
In this step, we execute your customized strategy using the extensive tools available to us through Raymond James. This involves the selection of specific account types, investment products and optional services; we then complete the necessary paperwork in a coordinated approach.
Manage
Once your plan is implemented, we continually monitor the progress of our recommendations relative to your defined objectives and suggest changes when needed. A key to this step is your involvement in the process and communication of any significant changes in your life. We accomplish this by providing ongoing reporting of your account activity, meeting periodically to review your portfolio’s allocation and performance, and checking up on your current circumstances and goals.
There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Investing involves risk and investors may incur a profit or a loss. Asset allocation and diversification do not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
