Financial planning

Does a financial plan go beyond my investments?

When we build a comprehensive financial plan, we start by listening and learning about you. Our goals-based approach to planning can help you see the connections between all aspects of your financial world.

  • A Highly Credentialed Team
    The professionals on our team have met stringent requirements and provide a depth of planning and investment acumen that can help enrich your understanding of all aspects of your financial life. We are life event specialists with vast experience working with affluent individuals and families, whether you are navigating life’s milestones, managing a business transition, experiencing a significant liquidity event or planning your legacy.
  • Retirement income planning
    Our team can work with you to help protect your lifestyle and livelihood in retirement by helping you understand such influences as risk, investment time horizon and asset allocation. We’ll also help you maximize your Social Security benefits.
  • Insurance
    We objectively analyze all of your current policies—including long term care— and develop an insurance plan that helps protect your family’s assets, replace income, and create a legacy for future generations.
  • Estate and philanthropic planning strategies
    We can work with your attorney and accountant to help with protecting your assets, potentially reducing estate tax exposure, assessing charitable goals and transitioning wealth to future generations.
  • Liability management
    Holistic wealth planning takes into account both sides of your balance sheet— assets and liabilities—to understand your entire financial picture. For those looking to access liquidity, we have personalized financing solutions.
  • Education planning
    With the cost of college continuing to rise faster than the rate of inflation, we can provide sound strategies for paying college expenses. We provide customized school-specific cost and savings predictions while keeping an eye on your overall financial goals.

Customized investing

Can my portfolio withstand market volatility?

Our team provides personalized investment strategies tailored to your needs. With direct access to the global resources of UBS, we can help you weather market uncertainty with timely perspectives, customized investment management and a fully integrated suite of financial solutions.

  • Customized portfolio management
    By working with global, institutional-quality money management firms, we build custom portfolios from a broad array of investments that help match your objectives and risk preferences. Ongoing monitoring and review of your portfolio helps us track your investments, taking advantage of upside trends and offering downside protection.
  • Open access
    We are product-agnostic. We provide advice on and access to an open platform of financial solutions both within and outside of UBS. This open architecture, along with a disciplined planning process, ensures we develop a customized strategy specific to your unique situation that is based on highly-focused research.
  • Understanding risk
    Through our comprehensive due diligence and planning process, we gain a deep understanding of your financial picture so we can help balance your tolerance for risk with your family’s goals, growth and income needs. This allows us to craft an asset allocation that supports your financial plan and seeks to limit risk and lower volatility.
  • Leveraging our institutional consulting experience
    Because of our experience working with institutional clients in a fiduciary capacity, we have a depth of knowledge in the design, implementation and monitoring of complex investment solutions. We translate this institutional consulting experience into action by creating comprehensive wealth strategies for high net worth individuals and affluent families.
