Is your financial advisor listening to you? Are you comfortable with the wealth management process?

EP Wealth’s Peace of Mind Planning Model is our cornerstone wealth management process intended to help you build a more solid financial future

We spend the time with you to develop a comprehensive understanding of your current needs, future goals, and personal or family ambitions—the crucial context needed to plan, invest and forge an effective partnership.

You’ll receive a tailored financial plan that organizes your financials and defines your goals. This financial foundation allows us to make thoughtful decisions together that are in your long-term best interest.

We work with you to put your plan into action. This includes creating an investment portfolio strategically structured by our in-house investment team, balanced by your goals and your risk tolerance. It reaches beyond securities to encompass your real estate, small business, insurance, college funding, wealth transfer and more to create a resilient, personalized and integrated portfolio.

Our goal is to limit the surprises, and our responsibility is to continually keep you informed through transparent reporting and proactive recommendations aligned to your goals and objectives. When you have questions, we will be there to help you.

In all of our wealth management services we analyze your unique circumstances and make sure we are working towards your identified goals. As fee-only advisors, we strive to make the process simple and transparent.

Our goal is to simplify your financial life. Achieving your financial objectives can involve numerous components. Bringing them all together through a team that understands the big picture can significantly simplify your life. We’ve built our Peace of Mind (POM) Planning Model to serve as a comprehensive approach to managing all of your financial needs. This includes the way different life stages can change your goals and needs. So when new issues arise in your life, we’re well prepared to address them.

Seeing is believing. That’s why EP Wealth’s POM Planning Model is so valuable: you’ll see the steps in the process beforehand so you know what to expect. And you’ll receive quarterly reports and participate in an annual review so you have a clear understanding of your progress and will address any changes in objectives. Our own approach to business is transparent as well. We’re fee-only advisors—with no products to sell. Because your success is our success, you can be confident that our recommendations are always in your best interest.

It’s the why of wealth that ultimately matters. We’re here to help you focus on the “whys” that matter most to you, and arrange your financial resources to achieve them. Whatever your priorities—from financial security to philanthropic causes—we’ll align our capabilities with your goals. The result is performance with a purpose: empowering you to live a more meaningful life.
