No, though we work most effectively with clients who have at least $250,000 in investable assets. However, we understand the value of building long-term relationships with clients who might not have $250,000 now, but are working hard to have multiple times that amount at retirement. Therefore, we also offer financial planning, life insurance and annuity services. Thus, whatever your finances may be, we urge you to contact us today to schedule an appointment.

We like to joke that some clients say, “Call me, that’s what I’m paying you for!” while others clients say, “Don’t call me, that’s what I’m paying you for!” Our lines of communication are always open and we will stay in touch as often, or as little, as you like.
For those who want to be in touch now, contact us!
First, we review your current portfolio, determine your financial objectives, assess your risk tolerance and develop an investment strategy for meeting your goals.

Secondly, we complete the proper new account forms for your review and signature.

Lastly, we begin the prudent management of your portfolio. We will remain in touch as often as you like to keep you abreast of your portfolio performance.
These are not the 1-2-3 steps you might see on other financial services websites. We do not want to treat you like a 1-2-3 client. We believe that the best portfolio management teams are the ones who take the time to get to know the background, needs and objectives of their clients.

Direct portfolio management is a solution for investors who seek a one-on-one relationship with their portfolio manager. Too often, investors limit themselves by working with a financial representative who passes investment decision making responsibilities on to a third-party money manager. Third third-party money managers have zero contact with clients and cannot consider a client’s unique goals and interests when investing.
Fortunately, we offer a solution known as direct portfolio management which puts an end to the days where a client feels marginalized by a financial representative who does not actually manage money. In a direct portfolio management relationship, clients work one-on-one with their actual portfolio manager. The portfolio manager, in turn, not only develops strategies unique to each client’s income, growth and tax-benefit needs, but counsels clients on how economic events may affect their specific investment strategy.
