Generally, we like to visit briefly and confidentially over the phone first. If we agree that we can add value to your situation, we’ll set a time for you to come in and meet with us. The purpose of the first face-to-face meeting is for us learn in more detail how we can improve upon your existing plan and portfolio management. In addition, it is an opportunity for you to learn more about us and for us to determine if we are a good mutual fit.
