When it comes to family wealth, we’re passionate about helping our clients preserve and pass on what they’ve spent a lifetime building.
Integrating your entire financial life
Planning is the foundation of our comprehensive wealth management. The Loewenthal Group’s integrated planning approach seeks to understand your specific needs and helps make sure your financial decisions reflect both your short-term desires and your long-term goals.
In today’s world, you need to understand how all the pieces of your complex life can affect your pursuit of important financial goals. Our integrated planning helps provide a clear path for managing your wealth.
Far-reaching resources
Our team has resources to help you and your family address the specific and uncommon issues that come with personal and business success. Team members Kevin Kamholz and Danielle Landon hold the Certified Financial Planning® (CFP®) designation and lead our planning efforts. Our disciplined process and holistic perspective can include:
One unified financial plan
We coordinate closely with your other advisors to develop a detailed financial plan that integrates each area of your financial world.
The global resources of UBS
Backed by the extensive capabilities of UBS, we offer access to a broad range of specialists locally, nationally and throughout the world:
“By focusing on the most important aspects of our clients’ lives and finding solutions to their financial questions, our clients tell us we provide them with peace of mind.”
— Kevin Kamholz, CFP,® Wealth Management
Because we have had great success positioning our clients to seize the opportunities of an unpredictable market, we offer the insights needed to help grow and protect all that you’ve worked so hard to build.
We follow flexible, long-term investing strategies, designed to meet your evolving financial needs as well as changing market conditions.
Strategies for the long term
We bring a long-term perspective to your investments, one that looks past short-term market events. Our goal is to build an individualized portfolio structured to generate sensible, sustainable growth that reflects your financial goals, as well as your personal values.
Global investments
Our access to UBS investment specialists around the world allows us to offer you unbiased advice with a truly global perspective, as well as a broad range of far-reaching investment opportunities. As we implement your investment strategy, we communicate regularly and track performance, rebalancing and making adjustments for life changes and economic conditions.
Risk-aware asset allocation
By listening and aligning with your objectives, we focus on an asset allocation that helps mitigate risk and builds balanced portfolios. We carefully consider strategies that support your financial objectives while taking measure of the potential impact of taxes.
Sustainable investing
Investing sustainably is a powerful and effective way to drive positive change in society without having to compromise your financial return. Each asset class—including equities, fixed income and alternative investments—has sustainable options that achieve risk and return outcomes as good or better than conventional investments.
“I’m gratified that our clients have entrusted us to handle much of the day-to-day management of their portfolios through the investment advisory program.” — Rod Loewenthal, Senior Portfolio Manager
The Portfolio Management Program (PMP) is a wrap fee advisory program in which our Financial Advisors manage client accounts on a discretionary basis. PMP is designed for clients who: (i) want to delegate portfolio management discretion to their Financial Advisor; (ii) are looking to implement a medium- to long-term investment plan; and (iii) prefer the consistency of fee-based pricing. PMP is not appropriate for clients who: (i) want to maintain trading control over their account; (ii) seek a short-term investment; (iii) want to maintain consistently high levels of cash, money market funds or invest primarily in no-load mutual funds; (iv) want to maintain highly concentrated positions that will not be sold regardless of market conditions; or (v) who anticipate significant withdrawals from the account.
We offer a team approach that puts you and your family first. Our goal is to build lasting relationships by being helpful in every aspect of your financial world.
By getting to know you and your family in a way that gives us genuine insight, we provide services designed to help anticipate and meet all your financial needs.
