Invessent Services
Wealth Management & Coordination
Invessent wealth management services focus ONLY on a client-centered approach, therefore creating a unique and customized plan for each relationship under management. This cannot be done properly without the right collaboration and coordination with the other professionals in our client’s lives. We have engaged with numerous CPAs, Attorneys, and Insurance professionals over the years to ensure proper planning implementation.
Investment Advisory Solutions
Our open architecture, independent, cost sensitive, and multi-custodian platform, makes for the perfect collaboration between advice and guidance with customized portfolio building. Each client's Invessent investment advisory solution is constructed by way of a thorough risk assessment, clear understanding of objectives, and a disciplined approach for implementation. In short, we strive to reduce the complexity that can come with investing, while offering our clients a greater peace of mind.
Financial Planning and Analysis
To plan for the seen and help circumvent the unforeseen, we must first establish a financial baseline. Once we have that, we then help our clients through a series of questions, meaningful dialogue, and courageous conversations, to identify goals and timelines. At Invessent, we understand that life can be full of surprises, but we whole heartedly believe we need to have a financial roadmap or plan, with realistic expectations and some flexibility for the “what ifs” in life.
Who We Serve Families over Finances.
The Invessent wealth management style is from a 360-degree perspective, keeping focus on the client, and always meeting them where they are at in life. Too often advisors specialize in working with a particular profession but miss the mark on understanding the unique circumstances each individual/family brings. In our book, one size does not fit all!
We are different.
Since our clients come by way of their own unique circumstance and situation, we adamantly believe that “fit” is paramount when finding your wealth management team. Square peg- round hole never fits!
