Managing wealth involves far more than managing an
investment portfolio. It begins with developing a holistic,
comprehensive understanding of who you are and the financial forces at work in your life. It means helping you understand and respond effectively to these forces. And, of course,
it means helping you invest your assets in a way that reflects
the realities of your life and the uniqueness of your long
term goals.
As a Financial Advisor, I am committed to building a relationship of trust in which I can work closely with you to help
you define your objectives, explore alternatives and choose
the financial and investment strategies that are most appropriate for you. As our relationship evolves, I hope you will
come to regard me as a valued resource and a professional
who can help you make a more informed decision on any
financial issue.
My most important goal: to help you achieve your objectives, providing guidance that helps your wealth do more for
you.

Developing Your Wealth
Management Strategy
Individuals work hard to build wealth in pursuit of a meaningful life for themselves and their family. Your achievements
reflect substantial effort, and I will work just as hard on your
behalf, committing my experience and skills to helping you
achieve your unique goals for your wealth. Moreover, I will
support you and your strategy by accessing the resources
and perspective of one of the world’s largest financial firms.
Before I offer specific advice, however, I must understand who you are
and what you want your wealth to
accomplish. Working with you, I will
complete a four-step process:
1 Setting your financial objectives
I will begin our relationship by listening—discussing a range of topics
related to your financial needs and
investment objectives: long-term life
goals and expectations, possible
major purchases, and legacy and
charitable goals, if you have them. I
will discuss your current financial
resources, your time horizon for various goals, your tolerance for risk —
even how your liabilities are structured. If you own a business, I also
might discuss your current banking
and cash management needs.

2 Developing your wealth
management strategy
Based on your input, my advice will
likely help address income and retirement planning, asset protection,
investment management, strategic
borrowing, wealth transfer and business succession. Of course, your plan
will include an asset allocation strategy designed to help achieve your
financial goals in light of your risk tolerance and investment time horizon.
3 Implementing your strategy
After I have discussed and refined
your strategy, I will work closely with
you to bring the elements to life.
Should we decide together that out-

side money managers are appropriate
for you, I will draw on in-depth
research and analysis to help you
select from the hundreds of investment management firms available to
you. If you prefer to invest in individual securities, I can help identify specific stocks, bonds and other securities that may be suitable for your portfolio. Whatever approach we decide
on, I will help you keep your strategy
on track.
4 Reviewing your performance
You will receive a quarterly review
that outlines your portfolio’s performance, helping you track progress
toward your objectives. Moreover,
when your personal situation or market conditions change significantly, I
can suggest appropriate adjustments
to your portfolio to help it remain
aligned with your goals.
