The mission of the firm is to serve as the trusted adviser when families and institutions seek to construct long-term investment plans. Our approach is systematic, methodical and utilizes the most efficient tools available today.
“It is my experience that the wirehouses, with their product-focused envrionment, don’t have the best interests of the customer in mind. We created a fee-based methodology utilizing the most efficient design processes and tools available today. Eliminating commissions from the model places us on the same side of the table as the client and allows for a conflict-free relationship.” – David O’Connor, Managing Director
