Personal Wealth Management Investing

3 Steps to Living the Life You Want

FinLife® follows a simple three-step process:

Ic number one

Understand What’s Important to You

Our digital discovery process helps you gain an understanding of what’s important to you. We’ve created a unique set of diagnostic tools - like MoneyMind that help you clearly articulate your intentions, goals, preferences, and priorities, so your money is working toward the life you want. This helps us deliver a completely personal level of personal wealth management guidance and advice.

Ic number two

Implement Your Plan

Once your wealth management advisor has a clear understanding of what you want your money to accomplish, we help identify the trade-offs you are willing to make to achieve the life you want to live. What you determine with your advisor is used to create an individualized financial plan that is aligned with your priorities. Your financial plan is presented as a consolidated, dynamic view of your financial life.

Ic number three

Engage on Your Terms

Life is unpredictable. Our wealth management advisors believe that success comes when you engage regularly to adapt your plan as life unfolds. Our process helps you make financial decisions with confidence that are always relevant to your current circumstances and expectations.
