How SMART Planning™ and SMART Investing™ Work Together
Wealth Management connects your financial plan with the way your investments are managed. SMART Planning™ provides the context for your financial decisions, while SMART Investing™ puts that strategy to work within your portfolio.
Your Plan Sets the Direction
Your goals, retirement needs, taxes, cash flow, estate considerations, and other priorities help define what your financial strategy needs to accomplish.
Your Portfolio Supports the Plan
SMART Investing™ is managed in the context of your financial plan, including your time horizon, risk needs, tax considerations, and upcoming financial decisions.
Both Evolve Together
As your life, goals, tax situation, or markets change, we revisit both the plan and the portfolio so they remain aligned.
Is Wealth Management Right for You?
Wealth Management may be a good fit when your financial life has become complex enough that investment management alone no longer answers the questions that matter most.
You Want the Pieces Working Together
You want your investments, retirement planning, taxes, estate considerations, insurance, and cash flow considered as part of one financial strategy.
Your Financial Life Has Become More Complex
Career changes, growing assets, business interests, retirement decisions, family needs, or multiple financial priorities have created more moving parts to coordinate.
You Want Clear, Ongoing Guidance
You want more than information or investment management. You value direct recommendations, help evaluating tradeoffs, and ongoing guidance as circumstances change.
How Wealth Management Fees Work
An Initial Financial Planning Fee applies when we establish your planning relationship. After that, you pay one ongoing fee: either the SMART Planning™ fee or the asset-based investment management fee, whichever is greater. We do not add the two together.
For clients with $1 million or more managed by Ruiz Financial Group, SMART Planning™ is included at no additional ongoing charge.
