Financial Analysis and Investment Policy Statement
 

Slide_03

As your financial advisor, our goal is to understand your financial circumstances. We work with you to develop an in-depth picture of your financial position, your goals and objectives and your tolerance for risk.

In establishing your risk return profile we assist you in exploring fundamental isssues:
  • What are your investment goals?
  • What is your time horizon?
  • What are your liquidity needs?
  • What is your tolerance to risk?
  • What are your investable resources?
  • What are your income needs?

 

Slide_04 We take this information about you and use it to determine which of the Six Risk/Return Profiles best matches your situation and needs.
Slide_05

The financial analysis will lead to a written Investment Policy Statement which is designed to:

  • Establish reasonable expectations, objectives and guidelines for investing the portfolio
  • Set forth an investment structure detailing permitted asset classes and the expected allocation among asset classes
  • Create the framework for a well diversified asset mix designed to generate acceptable long-term returns at a suitable level of risk
  • Encourage effective communication
