Financial Planning Process
You will get your own personal financial website
We've partnered with eMoney, a leading wealth management and financial planning software.
The client portal is a welcoming, detail-rich and interactive asset, which displays all wealth-management-relevant information, like net worth, investments, insurance, budgets and spending in a way that delivers maximal transparency, while minimizing navigation-difficulty. Also, the client portal facilitates the aggregation of assets and accounts we don't manage, which help us get a clearer picture of your financial life.
Interactive planning models
Using three portals:
- Goal-Planner, for conventional retirement and education planning
- Decision Center, for cash flow-centric planning.
- Distribution Center, for estate planning.
Embedded with “what if” features that provide a drop-down list of portfolio-disruptive scenarios, like a bear market, disability of a spouse, retirement, heightened inflation and other events.
