And an endless list of consulting professionals, accountancy and legal firms and nationwide

Three critical differentiations gained from our experience that will assist you in achieving your financial goals are as follows:

An in-depth analysis into the needs and vision of the companies and individuals we advise. This places us on the 'same side of the table' with you when it comes to manager and investment review/returns.  We are able to act in an unbiased manner to best represent and guide you. (Interestingly, we open the issues with individuals using 'The Investor's Caddie' booklet as a guide and later use the same guide with employees in their companies on an individual and group basis, should that be appropriate.  It further feeds directly into my other six “intellectual property” presentations, should more depth be required.)
Adherence to an Investment Policy we develop and manage together to be accountable to benchmarks we establish together (It is imperative that one is comfortable with the time horizons and risk levels associated with this guideline).  We target a 2% greater return above established benchmarks after fees, and work closely with clients on that basis. This is our formula, and it is successful. We are successful and we grow the business through direct referrals.
Development an adherence to a legacy strategy for individuals and companies.  This unique format addresses succession issues as they relate to a) preserving the estate for future generations, b) addressing charitable concerns and c) minimizing the tax consequences associated with the transfer of interests. This formula is a “must have blueprint” for successful outcomes in business and estate management.
