Guided Wealth Portfolio (GWP)

Robo Investment Advice meets Human Intelligence

Robo Investment Advice meets Human Intelligence

GWP is an advisor-enhanced virtual platform, created to help those growing their wealth gain access to efficient investment portfolios, obtain goal planning tools and the ability to connect to a personal financial professional to provide the guidance that a robot cannot. 

We know you are busy!  If you are a member of the Gen X family, you are constantly short on time and find meeting with an advisor in a traditional capacity to be challenging. The Robo investment advisor and virtual personal advice platform was created for you!

The Virtual platform also allows us to serve the adult children of our clients. Offering investment solutions and education to help them make smart financial decisions increases the financial strength of the entire family. When the time comes to transfer wealth to the next generation, integration is seamless as we already know and understand the unique financial situation of each child, while always maintaining confidentiality.

We believe our professional duty is to lend a helping hand by providing advice to individuals and families who have an interest in learning how to grow their wealth.

With increased industry regulation, most firms have been decreasing their client base by increasing account minimums and quickly shifting service to call centers. This is leaving most Americans with fewer options and less access to guidance from a financial professional.

On the contrary, we are leveraging technology to be able to help all levels of wealth.
