You are not cookie cutter; your investments shouldn’t be either.
Is It Right For Me?
- You want to feel confident that your investments are positioned well for the future and congruent with your financial situation, life stage, and state of the world.
- You want professional help while also maintaining control and transparency.
- You desire an advisor who is obligated to put your best interests first (a fiduciary) and not compensated for selling you anything (fee-only).
How Does It Work?
You are unique and your investment strategy should be too.
1 | The foundation of any appropriate investment strategy must be informed by your financial situation. We get to know you and your relationship to money, your assets & liabilities, income, expenses, goals, timeline, and more. This forms the basis of our approach.
2 | We then work together to measure and learn about your tolerance for risk and volatility.
3 | Whether you want protection from major market declines, growth performance, minimizing costs, tax efficiency, or having your investments congruent with your personal values; our approach ensures your investments are aligned with your preferences. Our experts will evaluate those preferences against your current portfolio so we can discuss potential gaps.
These layers are evaluated against the backdrop of the market, economic, and political environment allowing us to architect a customized investment strategy that fits you impeccably.

Aligning how your money is invested with what you feel is important in the world is often referred to as SRI (Sustainable or Socially Responsible Investing) or ESG (Environmental Social Governance) Investing. We call it “Value-Aligned Investing”.
It may include support for causes that are important to you like: climate change and the environment, diversity, equality, employee satisfaction, and transparency; and it may exclude companies or industries that you want to avoid like: fossil fuel, animal testing, tobacco, weapons, etc.
Is It Right For Me?
Your money matters. You recognize your investments have an impact in the world and you want some control over that impact.
It is important to you that your investments fit with your morals or ethics. You have strong preferences around supporting or avoiding certain types of companies or investments.
You want to empower yourself and take control over how your investments influence the future of our world.
How Does It Work?
It started a few decades ago with filtering out positions from an investment portfolio that are assessed to have a negative impact on the world or people in it (human rights violations, poor environmental record, oil companies, etc.).
Now, we are able to also specifically include investments that might exemplify values that you want to support (e.g., women in leadership roles, diversity in the workplace, high marks for economic or social impact, etc.).
For example, we may implement a stock portfolio that is indexed to a benchmark (e.g., S&P 500), and then apply positive and negative screens or filters based on your personal value system. We then balance the portfolio by adding in Global Equities, Fixed Income, and Alternatives to create a well-diversified asset allocated portfolio appropriate for your investment objectives and priorities.
Sometimes people think that in order to have their investments aligned with their values, they will have to give something up. We believe, and research demonstrates, that the reality is value-aligned investing doesn’t have to sacrifice performance.
If you have investable assets of $500,000 or more, we are happy to analyze your portfolio and meet with you to discuss what you own and how it may or may not align with your values and goals.
