Describe your practice.
Our mission is to meet the financial needs of each individual client while balancing the complex forces at work in the market and adapting intelligently as conditions change. We know that everyone’s financial situation is unique and as a result, we strive to thoroughly understand the concerns of our clients.
At Otterson Allison Wealth Management Group of Raymond James, we focus on addressing the different worries that keep our clients up at night and more importantly, doing all we can to help them achieve their financial goals.
Define the added value of your services in relationship to your fees/costs:
Our portfolio management is done internally and not outsourced to a third party. Our actively managed accounts are individually built and monitored in accordance with our client’s risk tolerance and financial goals. This internal management provides us the ability to manage risk more effectively. On a comparative basis, costs associated with our platform of custom managed accounts are very competitive with other platforms.
Do you offer financial planning?
Yes, we offer financial planning and much more. We first address the client’s long-term goals. Then, we create a financial plan based on their risk tolerance, asset allocation target, and financial resources. Our plan will provide a comprehensive strategy for the client to pursue those goals with the highest degree of confidence possible as we provide them the comfort and discipline to stay the course.
Diversification and strategic asset allocation do not ensure a profit against a loss. Investing always involves risk and you may incur a profit or loss. No investment strategy can guarantee success.
