The Lee & Yodowitz Group
Welcome
Our team shares a common goal: to help affluent households and small business owners pursue meaningful goals. We can work with clients’ other professionals, such as attorneys and accountants, to help align clients' financial approach. Our priority is to understand each client’s financial situation, risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, and goals. In addition to offering potential solutions tailored to each client’s situation and goals—such as funding children’s education, helping ensure money lasts in retirement and planning for potential health care costs—we can assist with potential solutions for transferring wealth to the younger generation.
Approach
Working with us means working with advisors truly dedicated to your success. Our approach is simple, transparent and supported by thoughtful investment guidance.
We believe clients realize the full value of our relationship, including:
- helping you make significant decisions
- recognizing your life priorities and goals
- understanding your investment personality
- helping you prioritize and pursue goals
- being transparent by making possibilities, fees and risks clear
- taking steps to help you preserve income during a life challenge
- educating the younger generation about investments and the markets
Understanding your goals and priorities
Your life and goals change. We have tools to help you keep track of these changes so they can be reflected in your financial approach.
Philosophy
Life is always changing and growing more complex. Your needs and priorities specific to your family, work, health and home are continuously evolving. And since your finances are so deeply connected with the rest of your life, an investment approach that is specific to your unique situations can be helpful. Even if you’re accustomed to managing your wealth on your own, you may find value in having a relationship with someone who understands your priorities and who has the knowledge and resources to help you make more informed decisions, no matter where in your life you are.
Capabilities
Our process is designed to help deliver a customized, consistent experience to assist clients not only in wealth accumulation and preservation, but in areas that go beyond investments. Our ability to provide access to the investment insights of Merrill, trust and fiduciary services from Bank of America Private Bank, and the banking convenience and lending solutions of Bank of America offers a way to help clients manage all of the pieces of their financial lives. We view ourselves as a financial resource, helping clients with potential solutions for transferring wealth to the younger generation.
Trust and fiduciary services are provided by Bank of America Private Bank, a division of Bank of America, N.A., Member FDIC, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Bank of America Corporation (“BofA Corp.”).
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. So whether you’re planning your retirement, saving to buy a home or fund a child’s education, We start by getting to know you and how you feel about the following seven life priorities.
- 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
