In this step, we’ll use a variety of tools, including questionnaires and interviews, to build an understanding of your personal goals, current financial situation, investment experience, and risk tolerance. We’ll also make you fully aware of our capabilities and assist you in understanding the scope of services we offer to help you meet your objectives.

Next, our team will analyze the information you’ve shared with us and design strategies intended to help you reach your objectives. This step may involve our team’s collaboration with fellow professionals or with your other professional advisors. We present our recommendations to you, answer your questions, consider alternatives, and outline the steps we need to take to implement your plan.

With your approval, and after ensuring mutual understanding, we will execute your customized strategy using the extensive tools and research available to us through Raymond James. This involves the selection of specific account types and investment products, placement of individual holdings in line with your strategy and goals, initiation of services, and the completion of all necessary paperwork.

Once implemented, we will continually monitor the progress of our recommendations relative to your defined objectives and suggest changes where needed. A key to this step is your involvement in the process and communication of any significant changes in your life. We help accomplish this by providing ongoing reporting of your investment portfolio, and by conducting periodic review meetings.
