Points of Distinction
When you contemplate retirement, financial decision-making takes on added importance. After you retire, you are ready to enjoy the wealth you've accumulated.

- We believe that successful long term investing is a simple process but it is not easy. To insure implementation of a prudent, disciplined strategy each client's investment portfolio is governed by a written investment policy.
- Because a plan is only as good as its implementation, we continue to work closely with each client after delivery of their financial plan to make sure recommendations are followed and adjustments are made as needed.
- We strive to provide each client with the highest level of service and personalized attention. As a result we realize that we cannot be all things to all people and have committed to limiting our practice to an appropriate number of families.
