What is wealth management?
We define wealth management as a holistic, multi-disciplinary approach to planning. The process we utilize brings clarity and confidence to a client that was lacking previous to the PWM experience. For an individual, the result might be the comfort in knowing that we have helped assure your retirement. For a business, our process would likely provide the owner with the certainty that all employee and executive benefits are being maximized for the recruitment and retention of employees, while minimizing costs.

Why do I need wealth management?
Either you manage your wealth or it will manage you. Our sole purpose is to ensure that your plan is completely customized for your benefit. The options for investing in and planning for your future are almost endless, and can be confusing and overwhelming if you don’t have an independent advisor to guide you through a planning process.

How does PWM get paid?
Clients primarily pay us through a consulting fee. This fee is typically a flat fee for the agreed upon service being provided. Each client’s situation is unique, so there is no standard fee to quote a prospective client. However, after an initial conversation with you about your specific situation, we will prepare a written proposal describing in plain English what services we would provide, the benefits for you, and the associated cost.
In some cases, clients may not be interested in comprehensive planning, but instead need assistance with a specific financial situation. If that is the case, we will discuss our means of compensation prior to your engagement with PWM.

Why should I hire PWM when I can hire the same
money managers myself?
The reality is that many of the money managers and other resources we have access to are not available unless you are working with a boutique firm, like ours, that is focused on the wealth management needs of the affluent. In some cases, you may have access to certain money managers, but still desire the services of a reliable, trustworthy advisor who is an expert in wealth planning, who puts your needs first, and is not subject to conflicts of interest. Your team at Partners Wealth Management has a fiduciary responsibility to help ensure that you are investing wisely and we are always available to discuss your situation, your portfolio and the financial markets with you in person, via telephone or by e-mail.

Who is a typical client of PWM?
A typical client is someone of affluence looking to integrate all aspects of their wealth to help secure their future and that of those they love. They may be worried about protecting their wealth from liability; concerned about how to pass on their wealth to their children and grandchildren while minimizing estate taxes; uncertain on how to invest their wealth strategically for the future; unhappy with a broker that works on commissions; or uneasy about the succession plan for their business.
Our Case Studies examine a variety of typical client situations, and explain in detail how PWM works to provide innovative solutions.

What services and products does PWM offer?
Our core services are personal planning, business planning and investment management. Once the planning process has been completed, it is time for implementation. You will determine how you would like to proceed at that time. We have the resources to provide an integrated solution that will help prepare the future that you've planned and offer more confidence in your investments.
