Who We Serve

Client Centered

Most new clients find us in their 50’s and early 60’s as they seek to formalize their financial, retirement and estate planning.  They are extremely busy with their careers or business, and don’t have time or interest to manage all the details of their financial lives. They have many other interests they wish to pursue rather than studying financial planning strategies and investment markets. 

Our clients typically have between $1M - $10M invested now and often have various real estate and business ventures as well.   They are not simply looking for an advisor to manage their accounts, but someone who will strive to guide them and their families to a higher quality of life. 

Our clients are seeking comprehensive planning guidance and advice, not just information. They are oriented toward capital preservation rather than speculating or “playing the market.” Our clients feel a responsibility to invest prudently and take a long-term view of investment results. 

Investments can be very complex; financial, tax and estate planning considerations can be even more complex.  But, at least on the big issues our clients are basically pretty simple.  There seems to be about five priorities that virtually all clients we work with are trying to to work toward achieving with their money.  Some people have only one of these priorities.  Some have two or three. And, not infrequently, we meet people who turn out to have a bit of all five. 

These priorities are:

  • The endowment of a long, comfortable, and confident retirement, with no compromise in lifestyle, and no real concern about ever running out of money.
  • The need/desire to provide financial gifts to their children during their lifetime and/or in the form of inheritance while being careful to not let good intentions weaken their children. 
  • The ability to fund, in whole or large part, the education of their children and grandchildren.
  • The capability to provide quality care to their parents in their later years when and if they need it.
  • The ability to make meaningful gifts to a much-loved school, church, charity or other institution. 


These seem to be the issues and goals that our clients are most interested in working toward achieving.  And they are the issues that we spend most of our time addressing with those clients we serve.
