Wealth Management
Whether developing a strong retirement plan for your company or finding financial strategies for your personal wealth management, we provide a personalized approach to helping you meet your goals.
The Cogan Bonelli Group
Mission
We chose to be part of the financial services industry to help others. This passion to help stems from collective experience and the financial challenges we have watched friends, families or ourselves experience in the past. As witnesses to challenges faced by important people in our lives, we recognized the need for a professional and caring team to help others realize the life they want. Our purpose is to help others define their goals, establish a wealth management strategy centered on their priorities and then help them manage the inevitable changes in life.
Philosophy
We believe the best financial approach is the one that helps you pursue your goals. That's why, from the start, we talk about your aspirations and encourage you to ask questions about issues that matter most to you. Worried about managing future health care expenses? College on the horizon? Considering the sale of a business or purchase of a home? Preparing to pass your wealth to future generations? With access to the investment insights of Merrill and the banking convenience of Bank of America, we will work with you to develop an approach designed to help address your financial needs.
How we help clients
Clients at various stages in their lives count on us to help them find ways to pursue their financial and life goals, including:
- The retirement lifestyle they envision
- Preparing for the cost of the best education possible for their children and grandchildren
- Wealth transfer to the next generation
- Establishment of their legacy through family foundations and philanthropy
- Diversifying business interests
Your approach to investing
Drawing upon research in the field of behavioral finance, Merrill developed the Investment Personality Assessment to help us get to know you better as an investor and potentially help you refine your own investing preferences. By gaining a deeper understanding of how you think and feel about investing through this assessment, we can customize the financial approach we develop together to help you pursue what matters most to you. Our Investment Personality Assessment is one of the ways to help us get to know you - to understand your goals and priorities. These questions will help us provide you with additional insights and resources.
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.
Capabilities
We believe that to feel good about your finances, you need to know exactly where you are, where you want to go, and how much you may need to get there. We work with you to develop a customized financial approach, drawing on the best thinking of our firm, to help you with your financial future. We will make it clear what you’re paying for and what you’re getting. As your life needs and market conditions change, we can meet to help make sure you’re on track in pursuing your goals and to adjust your approach as needed for the journey ahead.
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
