SERVICES
a. Financial Plan Development
Our financial planning assistance begins with a detailed review of our client’s financial situation, their financial goals and retirement plans. Working closely with the client, we then develop a strategy to achieve those objectives. Our process is highly tailored to meet each client’s specific needs, which may include cash flow analysis, investment strategy development, tax planning, education planning, retirement planning, insurance analysis and estate planning. Our process for developing the investment strategy begins with a thorough review of our client’s current portfolio, and an analysis of a questionnaire that helps us to understand their investment goals and tolerance for risk. Based on this information, we will evaluate different asset allocation strategies with our clients so that they understand the risks they are taking and the results that they might achieve.
b. Wealth Management Services
Our flagship wealth management service is our most comprehensive service, integrating financial plan development with ongoing portfolio management and financial plan implementation. This service begins with the development of a financial plan. We then formalize the agreed investment strategy in an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) and implement the strategy by managing the assets on a discretionary basis. All assets are held at our custodian, Fidelity Investments, which provides regular monthly account statements. Quarterly, our wealth management clients receive a detailed performance report, which consolidates and analyzes the performance of their investments across all of their accounts. Annually, we conduct a comprehensive financial planning and investment portfolio review to evaluate and adapt the overall strategy and address any new financial planning needs. 2 | P a g e
c. Divorce Financial Analysis
Our divorce financial planning service begins by gaining a clear understanding of our client’s key goals, needs, and concerns during this highly sensitive time in their lives. Do they want to keep the house? Do they know how much money they need to maintain their living standard? Are they entitled to any support? After we have a clear picture, we tailor our work to his or her specific needs, which may include:
• Analyzing the short- and long-term financial implications of a divorce settlement;
• Documenting a marital standard of living;
• Offering insight into the pros and cons of different settlement proposals; and
• Providing solutions to complicated settlement issues such as stock options and defined benefit pensions. Once a divorce settlement has been reached and the divorced is finalized, we can help clients transition to a single life. We assist with post-divorce asset transfers, estate and insurance planning, long-term financial planning, general financial education, and investment management.
d. Basics of Personal Finance Educational Curriculum
This service is targeted to young professionals seeking to learn the basics of saving, budgeting, debt management and investing. The course is taught by a member of the Artemis team in two two-hour sessions either in person or remotely. At the end of the course, the student receives a copy of all course materials, a budgeting template and a list of curated online resources to learn more. Private or group sessions are available.
