Getting Started with Investment Management
While I believe that a good financial plan is an important component of effective investment management, some clients may not need a plan. For clients interested in sustainable investment management, the process is:
- You fill out and submit the Introductory Questionnaire. We review the questionnaire together and discuss any questions, goals, or expectations you might have. This conversation allows us to determine how we can work together to meet your needs.
- Together, we complete a Client Questionnaire that gathers information on your current portfolio, comfort zone, risk tolerance, and return goals. We also complete a brief Social Criteria Questionnaire to understand your social and ethical priorities, such as the environment, alternative energy, or human rights.
You receive a proposed asset allocation and investment strategy, the Investment Policy Statement (IPS), that we review together. Download a sample IPS.- Once you approve the IPS we fill out various contracts and forms to open accounts and transfer the assets. Your portfolio is allocated in accordance with your IPS.
- Your portfolio is carefully monitored on an ongoing basis and rebalanced periodically to reflect your desired asset allocation.
- You have access to your account on-line and receive monthly statements and quarterly performance reports. We review your portfolio together and make any necessary adjustments.
To get started with investment management fill out and submit the Introductory Questionnaire. I will contact you to discuss your specific situation and how we can work together to address your needs.
