INVESTMENT CONSULTING PROCESS
Step 1: Understanding you and your expectations
One of the keys to investment success is to clearly define your objectives, your financial needs and your tolerance for risk.
Step 2: Developing a customized investment strategy and profile
Using information gathered on your personal preferences, we would design an optimal combination of diversified investments to help you achieve your goals.
Step 3: Analyzing and selecting appropriate investment alternatives
Because of my in-depth understanding of your portfolio needs, we will evaluate which investment vehicles are best suited to guide your portfolio.
Step 4: Bringing the plan together
We will present you with a range of specific investment options consistent with your personalized asset allocation that seek to help you achieve your financial objectives.
Step 5: Tracking your progress
A key to a prudent financial plan is to make sure that the client stays on track after the recommendations have been put into motion. I will closely monitor the performance of your portfolio. You and I will meet on a regular basis to discuss the progress of your investments and determine if any adjustments are needed.
