The Capital Advisory Group's Process
The Capital Advisory Group offers professional, fee-based asset management and brokerage services, such as life insurance solutions. Our family practice style service structure allows a more personalized understanding of each client’s needs, providing tailored guidance to support financial well-being.
1. Current, Up-to-Date, Personalized Plans
Clients can benefit from a financial plan we collaboratively develop and maintain. Prospective clients receive a complimentary comprehensive plan, allowing us to understand how we can best support their goals. To create a customized investment policy, we consider individual goals, resources, risk tolerance, and desired returns. This plan serves as the cornerstone of our regular meetings, where we monitor progress and adapt to changes in both personal circumstances and the broader economy.
Our Personalized Planning Process covers essential aspects of financial health, ensuring you know answers to questions like:
- Is your income suitable, and are your savings adequate?
- Are your risk tolerance and asset mix aligned with market realities?
- Do you have the right insurance coverage and an up-to-date estate plan?
- Are your beneficiaries informed about your financial arrangements?
- Once the plan is in place, we provide ongoing personalized advice, updating it at least annually.
2. Strive to Enhanced Retirement Income Post-Expenses
We focus on increasing after-tax income and reducing expenses while striving to enhance retirement enjoyment. We believe in the importance of living off returns from a portion of retirement income and offer strategies, to eliminate debt and improve cash flow. We manage tax planning proactively by reviewing each client’s tax situation before year-end to identify opportunities for tax-efficient management, including loss harvesting.
3. Risk-Aligned Investment Management
We monitor client portfolios carefully, considering market conditions, performance changes, and individual financial changes. Our approach to managing investments emphasizes the importance of seeking to preserve assets in down markets, with asset allocations based on potential returns and downside risk tolerance. By applying various investment strategies, we aim to increase risk only when appropriate and help mitigate downside exposure during market pullbacks.
4. Accessible Advisors and Account Access
We recognize that financial questions don’t always fit into a 9-5 schedule. Hence, our clients have direct cell phone access to their financial advisor for support when convenient. With eMoney Advisor, clients can access their financial accounts 24/7, including bank accounts, retirement funds, and other assets, for an all-encompassing view of their finances.
