Our Business Objectives and the Sharing of Your Personal Information:
- It is our objective to provide a more comprehensive and integrated service to a smaller group of clients. Our preferred nelson group client is one who sees value in financial planning analysis. It is our view and experience that the key to long term financial success (where financial success is defined based on the needs, goals and objectives of the individual), is to i) pay attention to the details (such as the 5 great killers of wealth) and ii) to connect the dots between all of the different components of your financial program. We believe that many of the good things achieved in one area of your financial affairs can be undone by just one or two bad outcomes in another area of your financial affairs. Therefore, it is our view that an integrated approach to your financial plan is extremely important.
- It is our view that the ideal approach is to begin with the creation of an overall financial plan, provided to you through Nelson Financial Planning Corp. When we have a good understanding of your situation, then, with your permission, we will transition into specific product solutions for your investment and insurance needs. As noted previously, the investment solutions will be provided through Nelson Portfolio Management Corp. and the insurance solutions will be provided through Nelson Insurance Services Corp. The transition from “the planning process” to implementing specific investment or insurance products is often very natural and seamless, and sometimes within the same meeting. As a client of the nelson group, in many client meetings conversations will often move back and forth between financial planning issues, portfolio issues and insurance issues.
- With these thoughts in mind, it is important that you are aware that your personal information WILL BE shared between each of the nelson group corporate entities. The sharing of your personal information is not for the purpose of providing information to an unrelated individual or firm so as to sell specific stand-alone products or services. The purpose of sharing your personal information is to provide to you a seamless and integrated service, driven by the goals and objectives of your overall financial plan, delivered to you by Doug Nelson and his team.
- Should you have any questions about the sharing of your personal information between each of the nelson group corporate entities or about our privacy policy, please contact Doug Nelson at 204-956-0519 or contact us online.
