Entrepreneurs
Life can easily get busy and the last thing some people worry about is their finances. They have a general idea and rely on others to keep their finances stable within stocks and bonds so they can enjoy the fast life. They are non-stop moving so why would they want to spend the little free time they have to go through their finances to make sure everything is in order and invested in products that are in their best interest? Sadly entrepreneurs are usually surrounded by experts who don’t talk to each other and only represent their “view” which not surprisingly has a product or bill attached to it.

Client Profile - Jack and Marie
During a dinner with a potential client, Jack and Marie, we asked where they held most of their investments. Their answer? $10 million of their assets were held at a Trust Company and mainly in stocks and bonds. Our response: why not buy some real estate in the town where their kids attend college? They could rent it out to their kids to teach them responsibility. Then, as a bonus, when the kids graduate college, Jack and Marie would have a non-correlated asset they could sell.
This idea intrigued them. They assumed if they hired us they would need to move all of their assets to be under us. That is not how we work. For most companies, when you take your assets to them and ask where they should go, the first response you get is the funds should go in their own products, even if it is not something you were looking at. After they learned how we don’t want their assets moved to be under us, the conversation changed. They were more open to our thoughts and ideas. Within months of that dinner, they hired us and became our largest client for planning.
We do not want your assets held with us, at least not in the first six months of planning. Instead, we want you to keep it where it as we start the planning process. Do not worry about your little free time being about your investments. We work with you on your customized two-year plan that includes meetings about you without you. What does that mean? We meet with your other experts, insurance, CPA, and lawyer, just to name a few and with your permission, to discuss your needs and goals without you having to facilitate the conversation. We work with your team to make sure your goals, such as strategic philanthropy, are a part of your planning plan. You can enjoy the busy life, knowing we are here and have your back.
Be a Jack and Marie. Invest in an advisor that listens to you and will not simply put you in their company’s product, but instead will do what is best for you.
