We provide goal-oriented investment outcomes based upon the wants and needs of our clients. No individual or family is exactly alike when it comes to what's important to them; why should their investment portfolios look exactly alike? In our experience, a majority of "planning" advisors will ask you about your investments and resources, then tell you what you can do with it or how much you can spend.
Our diverse experience in our teams' background is reflected in the diversity of the clients we serve. Regardless of socioeconomical or level of familiarity with investing, everyone needs a solid financial plan. Working closely with Stifel's financial planning professionals, we are able to provide robust financial planning services that help clients connect their portfolio strategy with their goals.
You can expect an open, candid, and honest line of communication from day one. You can expect that we need you to understand what processes we are using to help you pursue your goals, how we are implementing them, but most importantly, why we make the recommendations that we do. Developing a living, breathing financial plan is the crux of our service model.
We let the client drive performance updates. Stifel's outstanding technology platform allows us to provide reports as often as the client desires. Our clients will get at least an annual face-to-face meeting, if geography allows. We have clients in several states throughout the country, but with the availability of WebEx, personal communication is as flexible as needed.
