Investment Management Services

With a keen understanding that every client’s needs are different, XML-W strives to deliver the most individualized and consultative investment management service possible. To accomplish this, our financial consultants maintain an ongoing conversation with you to review your investments for suitability and alignment with your specific needs and goals.

General steps in the investment management process include:

Step 1 – Review Current Portfolio

First, the financial consultants at XML-W will review and assess any current investment portfolios you may have. XML-W will check to see if the investments are suitable and income-generating as well as work to identify areas for improvement—such as a lack of diversification, appropriateness of investments, underperformance, and fees.

Step 2 – Construct Optimal Portfolio

Next, the XML-W financial consultants work with you to design and develop the optimal portfolio based on a complete picture of your unique goals, situation, and financial needs. Because every client is different, our financial consultants customize each client portfolio. No matter your life stage or circumstance, we always take important details such as investments held in 401(k), cash need, and risk profile into consideration when constructing your investment portfolio.

Step 3 – Execute

The third part of our financial management process involves the actual construction of your optimal portfolio. We want to make the process as seamless as possible, so we provide the documentation to set up your accounts, and transfer any that are deemed appropriate. Additionally, our financial consultants take all investment implications like tax liability, timing considerations, and preferences into review. Upon approval, we execute the appropriate transactions to optimize your investment portfolio.

Step 4 – Monitor, Review, and Adjust

Importantly, our team provides ongoing and collaborative support to clients in every aspect of their financial well-being. As financial issues, concerns, and questions come up over time, we work with you to regularly review your portfolio and make appropriate changes as needed.

Retirement Planning

Saving and planning for retirement is one of the biggest goals that many people have. But there are a lot of complexities and factors to consider. For instance, do you go with the tax benefits or pre-tax deferrals or tax-deferred growth? Your retirement plan is likely to be your largest asset, so it’s important to make sure it’s set up and managed in the best way possible. We pride ourselves on the individual attention we give as a part of our retirement planning services.

We want to help you craft your optimal retirement plan and understand why it’s ideal for you. And we’ll be with you every step of the way. Not only do we want to set up the ideal plan for you, but we also want you to understand why it’s the best plan for you! We focus on your individual situation and goals while making and managing your retirement plan.
