Question What process do you use in Financial Planning?
spacer
Answer Once a client chooses us as their advisor, we manage a six-step process to assist them in achieving financial peace of mind:

  • Identify and Prioritize Goals and Objectives. The first step is to discuss our client’s financial priorities and risk comfort level to determine a well-defined scope of engagement and a clear plan of action.

  • Gather Data. The second step is to review our client’s financial history, including investment account statements, estate planning documents, insurance polices, tax returns, etc., to get a more accurate picture of the client’s current financial situation and to explore additional planning opportunities.

  • Analyze and Evaluate Alternatives. The third step is to come up with different financial options to specifically meet the client’s goals and objectives. We extensively review investment options to find the best, low-cost financial products and services for our clients.

  • Make Recommendations. The fourth step is to discuss and explain recommended strategies, making the complex world of finance more manageable and less overwhelming. We then collaboratively develop an implementation plan and confirm with the client that required steps are achievable.

  • Implement The Plan. The fifth step is to execute investment plan, including management of portfolio trades directly, using independent, third party custodians. (Note: we never have personal access to client funds.) We also make referrals to qualified professionals in specialized fields, such as law, accounting and trust administration.

  • Monitor and Review. The sixth step is to monitor and rebalance investments and discuss new planning opportunities derived from changes in tax laws, financial markets, and planning tools to maximize returns and manage risk. We review all portfolios quarterly and encourage clients to meet with us at least annually.
 

 

Question What are the benefits of using a fee-only planner?
spacer
Answer Because fee-only advisors receive no commissions, they have no incentive to use products or service that their clients don’t need. For PWJohnson Wealth Management, all of our fees are calculated into the net return reported to the client so we report the return the client actually received.
 

 

Question What types of investment do you recommend to your clients?
spacer
Answer The majority of our investments are done through no-load mutual funds rather than investments in individual stocks because of these advantages:

  • Target investments to a specific asset class based on the objective of the fund.

  • Greater diversification and lower risk because of larger number of stocks in each asset class.

  • A professional manager dedicated to maximizing the funds’ performance regardless of investment.

  • The ability to spread administration and trading costs over a large number of pooled investors.

  • Allocate a portfolio’s assets into different investment without fear of penalty for small investments.
 

 

Question What other services do you provide?
spacer
Answer We take a holistic approach to a client’s financial health and needs, including investment management, retirement planning, college funds, stock option strategies, insurance needs, estate planning assistance, and an evaluation of different tax options. No financial question or situation is out of bounds!
 

 

Question Who is your typical client?
spacer
Answer Our clients typically have about $1MM in investable assets or have an average family income greater than $250K a year. We work best with clients who want to be interactive and integrate all aspects of their financial lives into one strategy. We will help a client balance a variety of investment, retirement, college funding and estate planning issues into one coordinated plan.
