Setting the Bar

Guidance at the Intersection of Your Money and Goals

As your dedicated financial fiduciary, we manage client’s wealth for their benefit, not our own. We take a holistic approach that analyzes the entire financial picture before drilling into the details of your unique circumstances, goals, tax considerations, and preferences.

Through experienced guidance, customized goal setting, and a forward-thinking approach, Barrister’s financial fiduciaries can help you achieve your financial goals.

How we become your financial advocates

A Process That Works for All of Life’s Seasons

At Barrister, we understand that one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work. Just like people, every strategy should be unique. Our fiduciaries take the time to develop a deep understanding of your objectives, challenges, and circumstances. This allows us to create a purposeful plan that flows and changes with your life.

Step 1

Introductory Call

This initial consultation will last about 45-60 minutes and will be focused on getting to know each other and assessing how we can best meet your needs. Topics covered will include Barrister, our strategies, and principles, as well as your financial information and reasons for seeking a financial advocate. This initial conversation is obligation-free and will incur no cost. It is intended to provide more clarity on whether Barrister will be a good fit for your financial needs and goals.

Step 2

Collaborative Approach

During this stage we will hold our onboarding discussion and begin our data collection process. Once we thoroughly assess your financials, we will work together to develop a customized financial plan that spans from now through your life expectancy. This specially tailored plan will reflect your goals and include our data-backed recommendations.

Step 3

Deliver & Deploy

This is where the fun begins! We’ll deliver your financial plan and clearly explain the steps and strategies we’ve included. Our team will then implement your plan by thoughtfully selecting a Barrister Model Portfolio and financial services that work best for your needs and goals.

Step 4

Ongoing Guidance

Our process doesn’t end once your plan is created. We offer a set schedule of meetings throughout the year and will attentively manage your finances, provide valuable guidance, and recommendations along the way. We are dedicated guides for every leg of your financial journey and you can expect to receive The Barrister Quarterly, along with Barrister Briefs and Barrister Bulletins, throughout the year to aid in your journey.

Investment Philosophy

The focus on investing should be to control what we can, including Investment Vehicle Selection, Portfolio Construction, Cost, Taxes, and most importantly our behavior. We recommend a strategy built on evidence-based investing; this is a disciplined, unemotional, and highly diversified approach to managing assets.

Risk
Avoidance

Through proper investment vehicle selection and portfolio construction, we can limit risks while still offering the opportunity for capital appreciation.

Limiting
Costs

Every dollar spent on investment costs is greater than one future dollar in your portfolio. We offer a cost structure that aligns our interest with yours without limiting your ability to achieve your financial goals.

Tax
Minimization

We manage portfolios with a focus not just on what your portfolio returns, but how much of that return you actually get to keep.

Model
Portfolios

Our custom model portfolios are built to offer capital appreciation while also limiting how emotions and bad behaviors can limit portfolio growth during turbulent times.
