A Process Built Around Your Goals

The process at WaterStone Investment Services is designed to provide clarity and confidence at every step.
There are many facets to our personalized investment strategy, including:   

  1. Discovery

    We begin by understanding what matters most to you—your goals, values, dreams, and any challenges or concerns you face. This helps us build a clear picture of your financial needs.
  2. Develop Your Investment Strategy

    Next, we assess your risk tolerance and analyze your current portfolio. From there, we craft a custom asset allocation strategy and construct a portfolio tailored to your objectives. Asset allocation does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss. (34-LPL)
  3. Investment Strategy Meeting

    We meet with you to present our recommendations, explain the rationale behind your tailored investment strategy, and ensure you feel confident moving forward.
  4. Execute Your Strategy

    Once approved, we will handle the details, including opening accounts, transferring assets, and conducting trades to implement your plan.
  5. Follow-Up

    To make your transition seamless, we will review your first statements, organize paperwork, set up online account access, and walk you through digital tools for managing your investments.
  6. Comprehensive Wealth Management Plan

    Our financial planning doesn’t stop with investments. We help you build a holistic plan that includes retirement, education, charitable giving, and succession strategies to plan your future.
  7. Ongoing Support

    We don’t just set it and forget it. We schedule regular reviews, monitor your portfolio, and adjust as needed to ensure your financial plan stays aligned with your evolving goals.
