Individual investments and the markets fluctuate over time, and as a financial advisor, it is our job to enable you to make informed financial decisions using the full complement of resources at my disposal.
This process provides a framework for making decisions collaboratively and monitoring the outcome of those decisions over time.
Each step involves interaction between you and us, and outside professionals if needed.
Understand
We use a variety of tools including questionnaires and interviews to understand your personal goals, current financial situation, investment experience and risk tolerance. In this step, we make you fully aware of our capabilities and provide educational support to assist my clients in understanding the scope of services we offer to help you meet your objectives.
Design
We analyze the information you share and design solutions intended to help you reach your objectives. This step may involve collaboration with other specialists or your existing professionals. We present my recommendations to you, answer your questions, consider alternatives and outline the steps we need to take to implement your plan.
Implement
In this step, we execute your customized strategy using the extensive tools available through Raymond James. This involves the selection of specific account types, investment products and optional services; we then complete the necessary paperwork in a coordinated approach.
Manage
Once implemented, we review the progress of the recommendations relative to your defined objectives and suggest changes where needed. A key to this step is your involvement in the process and communication of any significant changes in your life. We accomplish this by providing ongoing reporting of your account activity and by conducting periodic reviews.
