Personal Investment Advisory Services

We work closely with you to understand your specific goals and priorities to facilitate the construction of an investment portfolio that is dependent on your unique risk preference, time horizon and needs.

Combined, our partners have over 75 years of experience in the financial services industry. When working with your BPG advisor, you are getting the expertise, experience and knowledge of the entire team behind you. Our collaborative, team-based approach to everything we do allows us the ability to serve every client exactly how they need.

Our experience has also allowed us to develop deep relationships with accomplished institutional money managers across the nation. These relationships provide us with the opportunity to partner with some of the largest asset managers and bring them directly to you.

Our team spends many hours’ researching and selecting the managers we recommend to our clients. We have narrowed down the ones that we feel are accomplished by what they do based on the specific goal we are trying to achieve.

On an ongoing basis we are reviewing their performance, talking with the management team and attending due diligence meetings to make sure their strategy is still in line with our client’s objectives.

Did you know that taxes can weigh down your taxable portfolio returns? The negative effect of taxes on investments is called tax drag. It can gradually erode your annual returns in the accumulation phase as well as be a big cost in the distribution phase. Tax drag can have detrimental impact on your ability to achieve your long-term investment goals.

We take into account the tax implications with the recommendations we make and help coach you on the pros and cons of each individual portfolio and so you can seek best possible after-tax returns.

If you’re not working with an advisor, it’s possible you may not have or follow a consistent rebalancing policy.

What is rebalancing? Technically, it is the periodic buying and selling of assets in portfolio to maintain an originally planned asset allocation. It is a strategy used to help keep your portfolio near its target allocation.

For example, assume you have selected a portfolio whose value is made up of 60% stocks and 40% bonds. Assuming a year of positive stock performance, your portfolio’s value may now be comprised of 70% stocks and 30% bonds. Rebalancing would involve selling some stocks and buy some bonds to bring your portfolio back in balance to the original target allocation of 60% stocks and 40% bonds.

Whether you’re taking ongoing monthly distributions, or you need money for a special purchase, we are there to guide you on which account or portfolio to take it from. We take into account your desires, needs and what’s going on in the markets to create a strategy that best fits your personal goals.

Tax season can often be stressful with all of the information you have to gather for your CPA or Tax Preparer. We try to make it easier on you by providing copies of your 1099 statements to you and/or your Tax Professional. Reach out during tax season and we will happily help make life easier on you.

You always have the right to call us if you hear something from a neighbor, family member, news article or story.  When the stakes are high, humans want to work with humans. If you don’t feel that's true, remember the last time the cable service went out on your TV during a big football game or a big soccer game or a big NASCAR race. You had to call your cable company and dial in to that robotic call-center phone tree to get assistance. And you dreaded doing it. So what did you do? If you’re like everyone else, you immediately punched the number zero on your phone, hoping to bypass the artificial intelligence of the phone tree and connect to a human. That was for a football game. Now replace that relatively trivial incident with the lay-awake-at-night issue of life savings. When the stakes are high, We believe we all long for humans—not robots—to get us through.

If you have any questions or concerns about your portfolio, it is your right to reach out. In fact, we expect you to. That’s your side of the agreement, that’ll you’ll always let us know if there’s something you want to talk about, and we’d be happy to schedule a call.
