ACA Pledge to Clients

In all my dealings with my clients, I pledge to be:

Holistic in outlook.

I will consider all of your circumstances, family needs, goals, values, and aspirations when making recommendations.

Professional in conduct.

I will protect your privacy. I will strive to maintain the highest ethical standards possible in my work and life. I will continually enhance my skills and credentials through continuing education, and I will refer you to other professionals when you need help in an area outside my expertise.

Educational in nature.

I will guide you through your options and explain them clearly to help you make the best choices. I will always take the time to make sure you understand my advice.

Independent in compensation.

I will never sell you a product or service other than holistic financial planning nor will I take a commission or a referral fee from another professional. You will receive objective, unbiased advice from me.

Committed to your success.

Holistic financial planning is a process, not an event, and I commit to adjusting your plan as your life goals change.

 

  • Are you comfortable taking risks?

    September 01, 2010

    Perhaps the most critical decision you can make about investment management is how much risk to take. Once you have determined an appropriate level of risk, you can start making asset allocation decisions such as the percentage of your portfolio to be held in stocks. This analysis is vital to your financial success as asset class selection is the most significant factor in investment performance.
