Investment Management
Once a financial plan is complete, we explore with clients an appropriate investment strategy. The most important decision to make before constructing an investment portfolio is to decide a portfolio’s percentage allocation of stocks, bonds, and cash/money markets. This “Asset Allocation” decision determines in excess of 90% of a portfolio’s return prospects and risk.

The Investment Policy Statement “IPS” – The IPS is a document outlining:
- Asset Allocation
- Risk Tolerance
- Tax Considerations
- Cash Needs
IPS documents are prepared by pension funds, endowment funds, and other institutional investors. The IPS enables LWM and clients to keep on a long-term path and not react emotionally to periodic swings of the markets.
We use a combination of funds, stocks, bonds and money market funds when constructing investment portfolios

Fee
We charge an Investment Advisory Fee equal to a % of Assets Under Management. We receive no other fees, commissions, or financial remuneration for our services.
Clients know when we buy or sell an investment, we have no financial incentive to do so other than to do what is in the best interest of our clients.
Our advisory fees are based on assets under management and are billed monthly. Fees are deducted directly from client accounts held at their custodian.
We do not charge an investment advisory fee on client assets that are not actively managed. For example, if a client holds a large position in a stock with a low-cost basis and intends to hold the stock for the long term, we exclude this stock from our investment advisory fee calculation and assessment.
