Cliborne Winkler & Associates
Welcome
The team’s broad financial experience, which has been compiled through many market cycles, should be a focal point for individuals, families and businesses seeking a balanced financial planning approach. We believe that wealth must be carefully managed to help you achieve outcomes that are personally meaningful to you.
Philosophy
2. Communication is instrumental in managing life’s challenges. Our financial advisors, for example, can work to engage your family in the financial decision-making process. But communicating openly with family members on the sometimes-difficult topic of finances can be a challenge. We can help facilitate these discussions and offer opportunities to help educate the younger generation about how assets may be invested.
Approach
Working with us means working with advisors truly dedicated to helping you pursue your goals. The approach is simple, transparent and supported by thoughtful investment guidance aligned to the goals that matter most to you.
The value of the relationship with you includes:
- helping you make informed decisions
- recognizing your life priorities and goals
- understanding your investment style
- 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
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 have the experience, knowledge and tools to understand your current financial situation and to help you create potential strategies designed to pursue your short- and long-term goals. A range of capabilities is offered to you, including retirement income planning and potential wealth transfer solutions from Merrill with access to trust and estate planning services and philanthropic solutions through Bank of America.
Focus On Corporate Executives
For corporate executives, we offer guidance for diversification* of concentrated stock positions. Business owners receive the assistance needed to build company benefit plans and access to Bank of America for help in addressing cash flow, lending needs and other bank-related needs. Those corporate executives nearing retirement are provided with insight from which to consider inflation, health care costs and other factors to help you pursue your desired lifestyle. The team is available to talk with you and explore potential strategies available to you.
*Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets.

Recognition
