The Principles that underlie the decisions we make:

• This is Other People’s Money
  • Deliver to our clients the advice and service that you would expect if you were on the other end. Deserve their trust.
• Be a Learning Machine
  • Delivering highly competent advice requires a voracious appetite for knowledge acquisition. We will be obsessive in support of our associates’ reinvestment in intellectual capital.
• Energy & Excellence
  • Our firm will always set a high-bar and have an ownership culture. Continuous growth and pioneering is a requirement so that we are best positioned to positively impact & serve our customers.
• Anticipate Trouble
  • On behalf of our clients and within our own business, always practice objectivity maintenance and be aware of blind spots.
• Avoid Perverse Associations
  • We will only work with and work for people that we like and admire.
• Customer Experience Obsession
  • Details matter and each customer is different – deliver excellence always.Hiring the best people is the starting point – technology is a critically important tool but not a replacement for personal connection.
• Sustainability
  • We are a 30 year-old ‘start-up’ that will not get complacent. Our clients, their beneficiaries, and their employees will need competent advice & service for multiple generations. We are building a business that will endure – remaining independent is a critical part of that.
• Community
  • Impact the communities in which we operate through running a high-integrity company and helping clients make intelligent financial decisions. Invest our time and resources back in to the communities in which we work & live – the compound interest from these local investments of time & capital creates change that matters.
