Build Wealth That Lasts
You’ve worked hard for your money. Now you have to make sure you keep it.
Problem is, most financial advisors focus primarily on the accumulation side. As we saw in 2008 and 2009, and during other bubbles, not all wealth sticks around.
That’s why at Oliver Wealth Management, we do things differently. Yes, we help you with the accumulation of wealth…using data and financial science, not with simple passive techniques.
But we go much further.
Strategies for Preservation
You’ve heard the old adage, “it’s not what you make, it’s what you keep”. We couldn’t agree more.
Wall Street usually promotes the opposite: get the crowd in on the popular trends, then don’t worry what happens next. We’ve all seen that play out.
Whether it was 2008 or the dot com crash, it never ends well. While many go on to recoup losses, if you were unlucky enough to be retiring in 2008, it could have changed the course of your retirement forever.
How? Sequences of returns risk. This is an extremely important concept, but it’s rarely mentioned on financial media. Why not? It’s not pretty and it’s mostly out of your control. Due to the dynamics of compound interest, if you retire and your initial years are bad market years where your principal drops, it can irrevocably damage your ability to generate future income.
That’s why at Oliver Wealth Management, we don’t ignore this reality. Instead, we plan for it, so if it happens to you, you’ll be well prepared. This approach takes much more analysis and honest conversations…but it helps you be prepared. So you sleep well at night.
Strategies for Distribution
Another underappreciated aspect of wealth management is the distribution of wealth. But with longevity on the rise, that’s a critical issue. Accumulation is only half the battle….then you have to make your money last.
Fortunately, with the right planning, we can help you make your money last longer. But it requires discipline and again, relying on data and evidence, not just what’s popular.
That includes managing the Sequence of Returns risk and planning for tax-efficient income harvesting. At Oliver Wealth, that’s our specialty. We’ll help you make your money last longer…and help you pass it on efficiently to your heirs.
Behavioral Science for Better Returns
According to the Dalbar studies, most investors receive only a fraction of market returns. Why? Blame it on being human. There’s nothing easy about investing. It plays on our most basic emotions of fear and greed. It is extremely difficult to fight those emotions. That’s why most people, and professionals as well, tend to buy and sell investments at the wrong times.
That’s why at Oliver Wealth Management, our entire firm is focused on the behavioral side of money. We’re here to help you prevent these expensive mistakes. We’ll act as your support system so you can stay on course and achieve your financial goals.
That includes education and communication that can help you feel better about market volatility. Through our unending focus on evidence, we help you face the future with confidence.
Specialists, Not Relationship Managers
At many financial advisory firms, you work with a “relationship manager”. Then, your investments get outsourced to one or more money managers. You’ll probably never meet the person who manages your money—ever.
That’s efficient for the firm, but not good for you. Your money manager needs to understand your goals, everything you own and owe, your responsibilities and preferences. Only then can they make the proper choices to manage your risk.
That’s why at Oliver Wealth Management, we have true open architecture, free from conflicts of interest. Instead of outsourcing, we work closely with you so you can understand and feel comfortable with your investment strategy. Our goal is always to manage your risk to help you achieve more consistent returns…so you can reach your goals.
