The future is uncertain, so when it comes to financial planning for the years ahead, you want to go with a team that has the experience to predict what is seemingly unpredictable. You want a team of experts that can devise financial solutions before the problems actually become problems.
Our approach is to position you to weather the financial storms and capitalize on opportunities by utilizing tools that focus on three pillars… protection, preservation and predictability.
Every FFD relationship begins with our four-step planning process, designed to clearly identify your financial goals, and develop a comprehensive, tailor-made financial strategy to confidently pursue them.
We begin this stage during our initial meeting where we get to know one another. We focus on what your specific needs are and what you want your investment capital to do for you. In the grand scheme of financial planning, this is where we plot our initial road map.
The primary objective of this stage is to develop an effective, long-term investment strategy that is customized to the unique needs of each client. We then develop a comprehensive proposal that outlines the strategy recommended for long-term success. This proposal is given to you during the second meeting, at which time we review our strategies and explain the rationale behind our recommendations.
In this phase, we implement all the core components of your financial strategy. Our highly trained staff ensures open lines of communication so that this process is as quick and easy as possible for our clients. We will keep you updated all throughout the implementation process and notify you when it’s complete.
We monitor our clients’ accounts on an ongoing basis to ensure it is performing in a way that meets the goals of our financial planning. Since financial goals are a moving target, this means we’ll occasionally need to modify an existing strategy or develop a new one from scratch. Whatever the case may be, we can assure you that we’ll always be adapting to your ever-changing needs.
