About Us
Investment Approach

Rather than chase high returns, we seek to achieve consistent performance over the long term. Our advice is based not just on your financial situation today but on your aspirations for the future as well. The approach we follow is characterized by discipline and an ability to monitor market trends without getting caught up in them. To accomplish this, we emphasize three critical components in our "Lifetime Wealth Management" process:

  • Wealth Preservation—We can help develop durable income and asset allocation strategies designed to help minimize your tax and downside-risk exposure. The goal is to help preserve the wealth you need to support yourself and your family today and to create a legacy for the future.
  • Strategic Investment Core Development—Drawing on a wide array of third-party providers, both within and beyond the bounds of the firm, we develop a "core" investment portfolio that targets your general investment goals while taking into account your objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs and time horizon.
  • Income and Capital Appreciation—Believing that asset allocation is more important than stock selection or market timing, we diversify both across and within asset classes, carefully weighting your portfolio allocations to stocks, bonds and other asset classes.
