Our Process
Navigation: Your Path. Our Process.
Our process starts, quite simply, with a discussion. More appropriately, it begins with us listening to you, your dreams, your financial needs, your goals, and your concerns. We invest the time up front to understand the complete picture, so that we can help you chart the right course toward your destination.
Guideposts: Helping Grow Your Wealth
If your journey includes growing your portfolio, Pathway Advisory Group will act as your guidepost. Recommending appropriate investments and guiding you through risk management strategies, we'll make your objectives our highest priority.
Guardrails: Seeking to Mitigate Risk to Your Wealth
Just like the guardrails keep cars on the highway, we want to keep you on the path to realizing your financial dreams. Our client-centered approach means that we're committed to seeking to mitigate risk to your wealth from day one.
Many Paths – One Goal: Your Satisfaction
Our primary products and services focus on advisory fee-based relationships that are tailored to the specific needs of each client. We accomplish this by utilizing wealth management strategies that include MoneyGuidePro®, tailored asset allocation, and best-in-class professional money management.
Using MoneyGuidePro® as our primary data-gathering tool, we delve into your financial situation, including investable assets, savings, insurance needs, and estate planning issues.
During our consultative process, we are committed to:
• Understanding your unique financial blueprint
• Developing unbiased and tax-efficient wealth management strategies
• Presenting our strategies in a clear and comprehensible manner
We understand how important your wealth is to you and are open and transparent about costs as well as any fees associated with our service.
While most of our accounts are fee-based through advisory services, we also serve clients who prefer to remain transactional through brokerage services. We pride ourselves on employing a simple and easy-to-understand fee structure. You have a right to know exactly what you are paying and how it is computed.
Where we reasonably believe it to be in a client’s best interest, we recommend:
