This makes up half of our annual charitable giving. Moreover, employees donate their time to worthwhile organizations, including employee-organized volunteer events such as United Way’s “Days of Impact” campaign.

- Financial PlanningThe past two years have reminded us all that life ultimately charts its own course with unexpected ups and downs. It also taught us that maintaining control with sound financial planning enables life’s bumps to be less turbulent. Attaining financial security isn’t just about successfully managing day-to-day finances – it impacts the long-term emotional, physical and mental well-being of you and your loved ones. Everyone deserves the ease-of-mind that comes from attaining financial security. Let us be your financial partner and take this journey together to build a consistent financial road map that successfully navigates you through the inconsistency of life.
- Retirement PlanningYes, part of our wealth management service includes financial planning. We believe this is critical to align our client’s investment strategy with their financial plan. The financial planning process will generally address the areas of cash flow planning, retirement planning, investment planning, insurance planning, tax planning and estate planning. This holistic approach can give clients a greater understanding of the inter-related issues that determine their financial success and provides greater peace of mind.
- Asset ManagementDue to the uncertainty of security prices, we firmly believe that investing in a given asset class should be done over a long-term time frame, preferably longer than 10 years. This is critical to investment success because it allows the longterm characteristics of the asset classes to surface. Short-term portfolio spending needs are considered in the long-term asset allocation decision.
