About Us
Integrated Financial Planning
Tired of working with faceless financial institutions or piecing together programs from a variety of bankers, brokers and insurance agents all by yourself? Integrate your financial affairs and you may be able to optimize your results.
Using “off-the-shelf” products and services can result in conflicting objectives, disrupting your ability to reach critical milestones. An integrated financial plan, however, brings together the most important components of your economic lifecycle and sets them in motion in unison. By following a well-balanced strategy that involves tax status optimization, pension planning, risk management, portfolio design and asset protection, you may be able to most efficiently meet your needs and objectives.
And, by utilizing a financial advisor with the capabilities to function as your single point of contact, you may be able to save valuable time and maximize hard-earned dollars, potentially achieving your goals sooner and with less risk.
That’s where Advanced Equities Wealth Management comes in...
Mission
Advanced Equities Wealth Management is focused on a single mission: to guide you to financial independence. We define financial independence as the point when your savings (and income from savings) will afford your needs throughout your life expectancy. Meaning, your Advanced Equities Wealth Management integrated wealth management program strives to supply you with a dollar amount equal to your monthly income for the rest of your life, so your career becomes an option rather than a requirement.
Our planning process begins with a thorough analysis of your current economic state and short- and long-term goals. Existing inefficiencies are identified through a comparison between your structure and an ideal planning protocol developed during more than three decades of ongoing financial research with thousands of high-income professionals. Then, we match your needs and objectives with what we believe to be the industry’s best products, programs and services, and we do it all inside of a detailed, written financial plan. The plan is designed to be a “living” document, which will be monitored and modified over time to keep pace with your evolving income, lifestyle expenses and overall financial goals.
Our Planning Platform, Past and Present
Advanced Equities Wealth Management’s (AEWM) methodology was developed over more than three decades utilizing the Greenbook Financial Services planning protocol to meet the financial objectives of doctors. With an understanding of the unique earning, spending and savings patterns of physicians and dentists across different specialties and age groups, Greenbook was able to design integrated financial plans customized to each client’s individual needs.
Today, the Greenbook planning protocol continues to serve doctors, while Advanced Equities Wealth Management now makes a similar set of products, programs and services available to high-income professionals and business owners across a variety of industries and vertical markets.
Advanced Equities Wealth Management works hard to mitigate threats to your income and investments, and possible exposure to creditors and frivolous lawsuits. AEWM also helps clients recognize the tax implications of their entire portfolio, and select the most effective pension and business structures.
Key to the Advanced Equities Wealth Management approach is the delivery and management of all programs and services through a single point of contact: your local Advanced Equities Wealth Management Financial Advisor. AEWM Advisors are focused on one objective: leading clients to financial independence, the point in your life when your savings (and income from savings) afford your lifestyle needs throughout your life expectancy.
