During our data gathering process, we determine the client’s individual objectives, time horizons, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. As appropriate, we also review and discuss a client's prior investment history, as well as family composition and background. This allows us to better determine the appropriate asset allocation for each individual client, be it a focus on growth, income, growth and income, capital preservation and the like.
