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. When we have a good understanding of your situation from a financial planning perspective, then it is our view that we can provide to you better overall portfolio management. ¹
