As a mother-son team in the financial services industry,
we believe we are a rarity.
As a team who genuinely understands and appreciates
the dynamics of money in a family environment,
we believe we are exceptional.

FAMILY. INTEGRITY. DEPENDABILITY.

As a mother-son team in the financial services industry, we believe we are a rarity. As a team who genuinely understands and appreciates the dynamics of money in the family environment, we believe we are exceptional. At the core of our team is a family bond, along with one of respect and joy in each other's lives. This bond drives us to be better individuals, better family members, and better advisors.

EXPERIENCE. COMPETENCE. DEDICATION.

Our work begins with your vision of the future: where you see yourself and your family in the years to come. Using a sophisticated, collaborative approach backed by ongoing continuing education, we help you clarify your vision, prioritize your financial objectives, and organize a strategy you can use to pursue them as we guide you along the way.

Our collaboration and attention to detail extend beyond our relationship with you. With your permission, we coordinate our efforts with those of your other professional advisors, to structure a united team designed to keep you moving forward, and help you address factors that may increase risk.

Philosophy

Products, individual stocks, and investments come and go. A solid investment philosophy, however, is the foundation for each strategy we recommend. Our philosophy has been honed through decades of experience, in both good markets and bad, and can be distinguished by six key tenets:

CALCULATE RISK

Instead of simply asking how much risk you can tolerate, we believe in evaluating risk in the context of your specific personal wealth management strategy. This helps us to determine the minimum level necessary to help you pursue your vision.

DIVERSIFY

Genuine diversification is more than mixing various assets in a pie chart -- it is diversifying among the many types of risk. Beyond just the potential loss of principal, risk may be due to currency exchange, liquidity restraints, changing interest rates, credit worthiness, and more. It's critical to analyze each type of risk -- and allocate assets accordingly.

CONSIDER PURPOSE

Not all assets serve the same purpose; they should be managed according to the appropriate objective.

BE AGNOSTIC

We firmly believe that investment choices you make should be product and firm agnostic, and that strategies should be built on freedom of choice -- from within Merrill and beyond.

THINK GLOBALLY

The world is getting smaller every day, which means more potential opportunities exist outside the United States than ever before.

BE DEDICATED

Investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Ongoing due diligence and education require a discipline that has no maturity date.

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.
