Financial planning

What do you want to accomplish with your wealth?

Our financial planning approach seeks to understand your individual needs and ensure that your financial decisions address both short term desires and long term goals.

Does a financial plan cover more than my investments?

Yes. When we build a comprehensive financial plan, we start by listening and learning about you. Our goals-based approach to planning can help you see the connections between all aspects of your financial life, including insurance, liability, banking, lending, trust and estate, and philanthropy.

Will my family be protected and prepared for the future?

What we call “family needs planning” looks at all the areas of your life—everything from retirement planning to education funding, supporting aging parents and caring for a special needs child. We are keenly attuned to protecting your financial independence, and directing capital to reflect your values.

What about estate planning and the impact on my taxes?

If maximizing what you pass on to your heirs is a consideration, we work closely with your tax and legal advisors to develop strategies that protect your legacy and minimize the impact of taxes.

Customized investing

What are the best strategies for reaching your goals?

Once we’ve helped you define your financial and life goals, our team provides investment strategies tailored to your needs. With direct access to the global resources of UBS, we offer timely perspectives, customized investment management and a fully-integrated suite of financial solutions.

Can my portfolio withstand market volatility?

We understand how today’s uncertain economy can cause anxiety. We demystify the process by being straight-forward and clear about how your investments align with your financial plan, and continuously monitor your investments to adjust to changes in both the markets and your life.

What does risk mean to me?

Through our comprehensive due diligence and planning process, we gain an understanding of your financial picture so we help balance your tolerance for risk with your goals, growth and income needs. This allows us to craft an asset allocation that supports your financial plan and seeks to limit risk.

Will I only have access to UBS financial products?

We look for the right solutions for you, whether they can be found at UBS or elsewhere. This open architecture, along with a disciplined planning process, ensures we develop customized strategies specific to your unique situation that are based on highly-focused research.

Our process

How do you know you’re getting the best guidance for today and tomorrow?

We understand the challenges you face throughout life’s important personal and professional milestones. Our dedicated process helps keep you on track for reaching your goals, no matter what happens with the markets, the economy or your own family’s situation.

1. Develop a financial plan

Listen and discuss your short and long-term goals
Evaluate your current financial situation
Create, review and revise a plan based on your needs and goals

2. Set investment objectives

Define your investment objectives based on your financial plan
Understand your time horizon
Clarify your risk tolerance

3. Create and execute wealth management strategy

Identify investment solutions based on your financial and investment objectives
Explain your options and how each of them would impact and integrate into your overall strategy
Confirm and implement your strategy

4. Monitor and adjust strategy as needed

Update financial plan as your objectives and situation change
Evaluate investment performance to determine if other investments are more appropriate
Determine whether short- or long-term changes to your asset allocation are needed

Long-lasting relationships

How do you want to work together?

We understand you have a unique situation with diverse needs and goals. That’s why we listen carefully, so we can work closely together to meet your immediate needs and ensure you’re on track to reach your goals. With a full range of services, our aim is to be helpful in every aspect of your financial life.

What can I expect from your team?

We consider our service to be “platinum level,” offering high-touch support that anticipates your needs and helps simplify your life. We bring together the boutique services of a dedicated team with the global resources of one of the world’s largest wealth management firms. In addition, our trusted client service team is always on-hand to answer questions and assist with administrative questions.

How often will I hear from you?

Our team offers consistent communication, personal touch points and ongoing reviews. We provide a flexible communication plan specific to your schedule. Our investment reviews are an excellent planning tool and are available on request or at regular intervals.

What about my other legal and tax advisors?

We work closely with your accountants, attorneys and trusted advisors, as well as our network of financial specialists to incorporate all perspectives into one integrated approach.

Managing wealth is our craft

We’re committed to understanding what wealth means for you.

At UBS, excellence comes from nurturing the best of our heritage, mastering the details and delivering the expertise you need to turn your financial vision into a reality. The result? Financial advice that is finely crafted for what matters most to you.
