Understanding Your Life

Welcome

The RPM Group has a proud tradition of bringing an uncommon measure of knowledge and experience to clients we admire for their achievements and values.

Formed in 2006, our mission was to understand and simplify the complexities of wealth for a wide range of successful individuals and multi-generational families. Today, we have clients in ten other states besides Alabama and in some instances we serve three and four generations of families at various stages in their lives. By listening intensively to your needs, goals and concerns, we can design individualized strategies to help grow, preserve and transfer your wealth.

We’re passionate about connecting all aspects of your financial life – both personal and business - to our extensive resources and potential opportunities. From early stage and growth financing, through retirement and succession planning, to a rewarding liquidity event, our team is determined to offer you innovative thinking and personal guidance to help you make informed and thoughtful financial decisions.

To help you transfer your wealth efficiently and effectively, we can offer specialized capabilities from Merrill and Bank of America, while coordinating with your CPAs and attorneys. For certain complex tax, estate and business succession issues, we can consult with additional outside resources to help you insulate your lifestyle while pursuing the intentions you established for your wealth.

 

Neither Bank of America, Merrill, nor any of their affiliates or financial advisors provide legal, tax, or accounting advice. You should consult your legal and/or tax advisors before making any financial decisions

Investment Philosphy

When you welcome our dedicated team into your life, you can look forward to a strong advisor bond and a nurturing environment. Your unique needs and those of your family members, are at the center of your investment approach. For this reason, we believe in having frequent, casual conversations together to learn about and appreciate your family dynamics, aspirations and the concerns you may have for your future well-being. All that takes place before we discuss investments (or anything with a dollar sign in front of it).

For your strategy, we follow a disciplined, rules-based approach that can help you pursue your goals and avoid emotional and untimely investment decisions. We aim to adhere to our convictions through a wide range of economic and market cycles, unexpected geo-political crises and when significant life events occur. To that end, we may consider a wide range of investment classes, including alternative investments – non-correlated assets such as hedge funds, private equity and real assets – with the goal of reducing volatility and further strengthening your resolve to follow your strategy, ignoring the “investment noise” around you. While our strategies may be complex, our mission is to simplify your financial life and help you prepare for what’s ahead.



*Some or all alternative investments may not be in the best interests for certain investors. Certain alternative investments carry significant risk and are not subject to the same regulatory oversight as mutual funds and other traditional investments.  For these reasons, access to alternative investments may be limited to investors who are designated as sophisticated, high-net-worth investors.

Focus On Individuals, Families and Small Businesses

We believe that financial success can be achieved when you’re able to make investment-related decisions and trade-offs that can help you reach personally meaningful goals. Whether you’re planning your retirement, saving to buy a home or funding a child’s education, the process begins by getting to know you and how you feel about the following:

  • Health: Managing healthcare expenses, now and in the future
  • Home: Upsizing, downsizing, remodeling or buying a vacation home
  • Family: Taking care of your family and other people in your life
  • Leisure: Spending your free time in meaningful ways
  • Giving: Volunteering, mentoring others and giving to charities
  • Work: Working in retirement, selling or starting a business
  • Finance: Bringing it all together and defining your financial goals

Success will be measured by the amount of progress you are making toward reaching your goals, making thoughtfully considered adjustments as events and conditions warrant.
