Your Financial Life

Our advice and strategies are guided by your personal goals, such as planning and funding children’s education, preserving and growing your wealth in retirement, and planning for potential health care costs. We start by understanding your unique concerns, priorities, risk tolerance, and other important factors.

The key to helping you achieve your financial goals is understanding where you are now and what challenges you face. That is why we work so hard at analyzing your assets and liabilities, as well as your short- and long-term financial outlook. We feel that wealth should be managed to help achieve outcomes that are personally meaningful to each client.

Understanding What's Important to You

Helping clients prepare for retirement is, in many ways, at the heart of what we do. The Maltese Group understands how important it is for you to have the resources you need to retire on your own terms and have the active retirement you always envisioned. We start the process by listening and learning about your desired retirement lifestyle. We will then work with you to create a comprehensive analysis that takes your entire financial picture in to account. This will help us develop custom strategies to achieve the optimal results.

We also have a long history of helping corporate executives efficiently handle their stock options, restricted stock, complex compensation packages, and planning for retirement. We offer guidance for diversification strategies for concentrated stock positions. With our tailored approach, we can help you pursue financial goals while remaining focused on career goals. We review your accounts and help you make strategy adjustments, as needed, to stay on track.

Wealth Management Includes Outstanding Service

Our job is first to understand what matters most to you. Our goal is to bring simplicity and transparency to the complexities of investing. We will be there to make the intimidating task of planning for the future easier. We pay attention to even the smallest details since they are still important when developing your overall wealth management strategy.

We help clients visualize the possibilities of their lifestyle choices and understand potential risk that may offset them. We are always there for our clients to answer questions, address any concerns, and provide advice on their financial objectives; we’re here to help however we can. Our business model and communications—including e-mails and phone calls—are designed to proactively serve clients, wherever they are located.

"Our clients get more than just a financial advisor. We believe they benefit from the wealth of insight and experience of our entire team."
