Our Process

Why Hire an Advisor

[1] Industry studies estimate that professional financial advice can add 1.50% and 4% to portfolio returns over the long term, depending on the time period and how returns are calculated.[2] We believe the differences in outcomes from financial advisors and individual investors comes down to emotions, be it buying high during periods of euphoria, selling low during times of fear or selecting investments strictly on how their most recent performance and not their long-standing process of investing. The Morgan Wealth Management Team is built on a proven, defined process that uses multiple strategies based on the client’s objective. It takes emotions out by being disciplined to a yearlong process of selecting, reviewing, and managing investments.

Our Process

Financial Goals Matter

The first part of the process is to define your financial objectives. Aggressive growth, capital preservation, investment income are all different objectives for different clients. If you’re looking for income during retirement you will have a different portfolio than someone looking for growth before retirement. Someone looking to preserve their wealth will be different than someone still creating their wealth. Your financial goal is pinnacle in creating portfolios and strategies to give you the best potential towards your preferred future.

The Golden Rule

The last part of our process is our focus on our clients and how we service them. We adhere to the Golden Rule and that is, to give our clients the attention and service that we would expect from a wealth management team.

The service goes from annual reviews and continuous contact, especially during bad markets, to planning for or during retirement. We have a long list of resources both in our home office and utilizing other investment companies we work with. Whatever our clients objectives or needs, we look to give service beyond those expectations to help our clients to their preferred future.
