Each client is different. We begin by helping our clients develop a picture of what they want their investments to do for them. Often time this involves a very personal vision covering multiple goals including investment income streams, family wealth transfer issues, charitable giving and more. Once we are comfortable that we have a good sense of our client's vision, we develop a target asset allocation which we believe will most efficiently fulfill that vision. In essence we endeavor to act as they would for themselves if they had the time, knowledge and access to capital markets necessary to make good decisions.
