Wealth Management

In today's complex market environment, we believe a group of diverse individuals with different backgrounds and skills have an edge over an individual advisor. In working with us, we believe clients can benefit from the combination of our individual strengths and experiences.

Welcome

Client Focused Advice and Guidance
At The Harbor Group, we don't just focus on investment services. We pride ourselves on delivering modern, sophisticated wealth management to help simplify the lives of hedge fund and private equity principals, Big Four accounting firm partners, and Wall Street and corporate executives.

Our experienced team utilizes its deep knowledge to provide strategic custom strategies designed to help you enhance, preserve and manage your wealth.

When you select The Harbor Group, you are supported by decades of experience in the financial services industry. As of January 2024, The Harbor Group is entrusted with approximately $2.00 billion in client balances. We believe our knowledge and experience with a broad range of services help differentiate us from other advisors.

We Look at the Big Picture

GBWM_ProcessGraphic_920px.png

We focus on clients' needs with a holistic approach, taking into consideration their investment objectives, time horizon, liquidity needs, short- and long-term goals and risk tolerance. We begin by forming a conceptual understanding of you, your family and the context of your business and professional life. We look at your financial life in total and together we establish a working list of objectives, such as funding higher education expenses, retirement income planning and passing your wealth to the next generation.

After we get a clear picture of where you want to go, we will help you chart a strategy. Your strategy will incorporate your time horizon, your risk tolerance, liquidity needs and realistic expectations about investment performance.

Thoughtful implementation can add value to the wealth management process. We take into consideration significant, available information — notably from Merrill resources — before we help you allocate portfolio assets.

We conduct periodic financial reviews and make suggestions to help keep your asset allocation aligned with your objectives. We will re-examine your overall strategy to help keep your investments timely and on target as market conditions change, offering strategic adjustments as necessary.

Meet The Harbor Group

One of our most important strengths is deep experience in the unusual demands of wealth.

Our team's knowledge encompasses a very wide range of financial services. We can address various aspects of your financial life, from daily transactions to designing long-term strategies.

In today's complex market environment, we believe a group of diverse individuals with different backgrounds and skills have an edge over an individual advisor. In working with us, we believe clients can benefit from the combination of our individual strengths and experiences.

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.
