Our Philosophy

Mission Statement

Our purpose is to furnish financial services of value to our clients. We act as their agent, putting their interests before our own. We are confident that if we do our jobs well and give value for what we charge, not only will mutual trust and respect develop, but also satisfaction and a fair reward may result.

Ethics Statement

The highest standard of ethical conduct is expected. When faced with possible conflicts of interest, we should give preference to the client over our personal interests. We should not use the firm or our position in it for personal gain other than our direct compensation.

Operating Philosophies

We are committed to delivering financial services of value to a select and limited group of clients, acting as their agent.  We want to be client-driven, and the financial advisor relationship means that our first allegiance has to be to the client.  We should eliminate any incentives that conflict with the welfare or interest of the client.

We recognize that the most important relationship in our business is the bond of trust between the client and the financial advisor, and we should build and strengthen this relationship.  If we are to be client-driven, we must listen to our clients and be conscious of their interests in all our decisions.

Our growth should come naturally by our philosophy of putting the client first. Profit is not the purpose of our business and should not be sought for its own sake. Rather, it is a necessity if we are to be able to continue to deliver value to our clients, so we must be careful to do what we have chosen in a manner that is efficient and cost-effective. We should be more concerned with the client than with ourselves or the competitor.

It is one of our corporate objectives to have fun. To enjoy what we are doing, we must like those with whom we work and appreciate each client as an individual.

It is important for all of us to remember why we are here and to be careful to deliver value to our clients for what we charge them. We should try to improve upon some aspect of the business each week, and enjoy coming in every day to work.
