At Noonan Gilmore Panucci & Associates, we are proud to bring an uncommon measure of acumen and attention to clients whose aspirations and values demand both. It is our belief that the depth and breadth of our planning and investment approach clearly distinguishes our practice and the enduring benefits our clients can enjoy.
Who do we serve? A growing circle of successful women and men who’ve been referred to us and continue to refer others. Residing across Connecticut and more than 20 other states, they include active and retired C-suite executives in the pharmaceutical and defense industries, physicians, business owners and many “millionaires next door” who’ve sacrificed and saved.
While diverse in their paths to our door, clients typically share a desire to engage, listen and trust. This suits us well, as we are devoted to educating and helping clients plan and prepare for important financial decisions.
Given that your life experiences and attitude toward wealth are clearly your own, we don’t make assumptions. Instead, we make time to appreciate your mindset and motivations. As a multi-generational team of lifetime learners, former educators and active listeners, we may ask, “What are your proudest achievements and greatest regrets? What is your vision of a meaningful life? What has worked well and what you do you hope worked better? What income are we trying to replace in retirement? Why have you come to us – and why now?”
In addition to your goals, we will look for “holes” in your financial picture – areas that may have been ignored in a previous advisory relationship. We will ask about and examine your trusts, wills and other important provisions. Truth be told, estate planning servicing is another area in which we focus intensely and have extensive skills. We will also ask for the names of your’ CPA and attorney, to align our tax minimization and estate planning strategies – and save you the time of coordinating our efforts.
When it comes to investments, we will craft your portfolio by accounting for your goals, investment timeline, cash-flow needs and risk tolerance, as well as considerations for longevity, inflation, interest rates and market conditions. We will also explain our rationales, so that you understand what you own and why.
Having managed our clients’ money and emotions amid the volatility of 1987, 2000, 2008, 2020 and 2022, we feel proud that virtually all of those clients remain with us today. We believe that’s due in large part to our determination and ability to mitigate investment risk as part of a comprehensive, long-term strategy that touches every corner of a client’s financial picture.
Like our clients, your achievements have led to wealth and opportunity. It would be our privilege to help manage both, responsibly and in the most respectful manner.
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. Calculating how to manage 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? It all starts with a plan intended to help you manage, grow, and preserve your wealth today, while also considering the impact it can have for years to come. With access to the investment insights of Merrill and banking solutions from Bank of America, we will work with you to develop an approach designed to help address your financial needs.
No two investment approaches are alike because no two investors are alike. Working closely with you the team examines key components of your life plan to help you create a financial strategy with personalized advice and measurable goals. The team helps you track progress to your goals and works with you to adjust your investment style and strategy over time, as needed.
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.
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.
It is important to know exactly where you are with your finances, where you plan to go, and how much you may need to help get you there. Drawing on Merrill’s investing insights and with access to Bank of America’s credit and lending solutions, we can offer you a comprehensive, personalized plan to help you pursue your goals. We will provide transparency on what you’re paying for and what you’re getting, as well as potential opportunities and risks. Understanding that life needs and market conditions can change, we will meet with you, as necessary, to help make sure your strategy remains on track to pursue your goals and adjust your approach for the journey ahead, as needed.
The broad investing resources of Merrill provide you with access to potential strategies for income management, education funding, retirement income planning, and guidance for executives with concentrated stock positions. In addition to traditional and alternative investments and wealth transfer solutions through Merrill, you have access to estate planning services from Bank of America. As your single point of contact we can connect with key professionals in your life, working closely with your outside advisors, such as attorneys, accountants and elder care specialists.
DISCLOSURE: Some or all alternative investments may not be appropriate for certain investors. Certain alternative investments carry significant risk and are not subject to the same regulatory oversight as mutual funds and other appropriate investments. For these reasons, access to alternative investments may be limited to investors who are designated as sophisticated, high-net-worth investors.
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:
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.
