Why should you invest with us?
Our investment strategies utilize recognized fundamental analysis and technical analysis models to assist when designing individualized strategies for each client. By working as an independent planning firm, we are not tied to any proprietary products. Instead, we have a wide range of investment products to help find the right fit based on each client’s needs. This process allows us to deliver highly personalized service that seems to have gone missing in the larger banking firms of today.

Our strategic advice helps our clients navigate through a complex maze of financial alternatives. The individual team members bring their unique perspectives and experience to create a powerful strategy. By working as an independent planning firm, we are able to provide unbiased personal strategies that are aligned with each client’s unique objectives. Our team maintains frequent contact with our clients, ensuring that everyone stays informed regarding developments in the ever-changing market.
Why did you choose to affiliate with LPL Financial?
As strategic leaders and champions for our clients, we want to continue to provide the best strategies and recommendations based on our knowledge and our clients’ goals. By partnering with LPL Financial, we are able to receive unmatched operational support, leaving us with more time and resources to continue to provide exceptional customer service, strategic recommendations, and innovative solutions.
Where will my assets be held, and how safe will they be?
As a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) member firm, subject to the federal securities laws and the rules of industry self regulatory organizations, LPL Financial prioritizes its obligations to protect client assets in their custody with the utmost care and scrupulous adherence to financial protection rules, including those governing the segregation of client assets.
LPL provides an enormous catalog of services and resources, as well as a long history of financial stability. The LPL Financial SIPC Membership provides account protection up to a maximum of $500,000 per customer, of which $250,000 may be claims for cash. An explanatory brochure is available at www.sipc.org. Additionally, through London Insurers, LPL Financial accounts have additional securities protection to cover the net equity of customer accounts up to an overall aggregate firm limit of $750,000,000 subject to conditions and limitations. The account protection applies when a SIPC member firm fails financially and is unable to meet obligations to securities clients, but it does not protect against losses from the rise and fall in the market value of investments.

Client-Focused Approach
We sit on the same side of the table as our clients and provide advice based on a complete understanding of your needs. Creating long-term relationships built on trust is our ultimate goal. Focusing on a select number of clients allows us to devote the necessary time and understanding to help each client address the financial challenges that can accompany great wealth. Together, we work to leverage the firm’s broad resources and focused capabilities to advance client interests.
