Goals-based wealth management

Before we make recommendations regarding your investments or wealth planning, we will devote the time to get to know you and your family, business or practice in depth.
 
Once we have a sound understanding of your goals, needs, fears, wealth structure, time horizon, liabilities and preferences, we are well positioned to build a tailored portfolio and comprehensive Wealth Plan to address them. We are also available to help you make pragmatic financial decisions that can help you achieve your vision of success.
 

We can address your priorities by helping you to:

  • Define your short- and long-term goals.

  • Allocate your assets according to your profile and market conditions.

  • Build an optimized, resilient, risk-adjusted, balanced portfolio and Wealth Plan.

  • Transition to an income-generating portfolio in retirement.

  • Design a tax-efficient estate.

  • Plan proactively for major purchases or expenses.

  • Stay up-to-date on the latest tax regulations, industry reforms and global influences.

  • ​Manage multigenerational wealth family planning for your evolving needs.

Multigenerational planning.


We involve the whole family in the wealth management process to help everyone both financially and personally. When sons and daughters join the conversation, everyone is informed and engaged as a household. While everyone has their own goals and their own portfolio, all family members share access to our strategies, expertise and fees and we promote good communication and transparency among family members.
