Portfolio Management and Investment Consulting

Compass is dedicated to the total economic wealth of investors. We use a flexible, but disciplined approach using institutional quality research to work toward achieving maximum returns consistent with your tolerance for risk.

 

Wealth Transfer & Estate Planning

A properly designed estate plan is an integral part of ensuring that your assets are protected and handled in a manner that is consistent with your desires. While most people understand that an estate plan can enable you to pass your assets to your heirs in the way you choose, there are many other reasons to address this important aspect of your financial preparation.

 

Retirement Planning

Being able to retire comfortably is one of the most common goals shared by individuals today, yet many find it difficult to assess their retirement preparedness. Increasing life expectancies coupled with rising medical costs and other future uncertainties are very real concerns that individuals and families must address.

 

Tax Minimization

While we do not prepare tax returns, there are still many ways to help reduce current and future income tax liability. We can provide some of those sophisticated tax minimizing options and ideas when appropriate and can work with your accountant or other tax professionals when implementing.

 

Risk Management & Asset Protection

As a firm, we have a strong focus on helping our clients stay wealthy. One of the ways that we do this is by managing the risks of unexpected events. While some of our risk management techniques are implemented in our investment approach, we also want to make sure that you are sufficiently protected against risks outside of your investment portfolio.

 

Family Office Services

We offer family office consulting services in which we can oversee various investment accounts and financial issues on behalf of the client. Our family office services also extend beyond the traditional financial services in our attempt to engage and meet the specific needs and objectives of our clients.
