*Six fundamental financial planning considerations include but are not limited to Longevity, Liquidity, Inflation, Market, Mortality, and Taxes.

Our Approach

Money is personal. We believe investors deserve a partner that will provide them with a bespoke investment experience tailored to their needs and objectives.

Start Smart

Starting smart begins by getting a clear understanding of an investor’s current financial situation and how they would like it to progress to help meet their future lifestyle goals and objectives.

During this process we get to know our prospective clients by gathering information pertaining to their personal values, financial goals, and existing financial accounts. We also evaluate their attitudes toward six universal financial planning considerations and conduct a Value at Risk (VaR) Analysis.

Financial Planning Considerations

The six universal financial planning considerations are potential barriers investors may face when working toward their goals. We believe that it’s important to evaluate investor sentiment towards each consideration through a succinct questionnaire. This allows us to examine the potential effects of these considerations on an investor’s assets today and in the future.

Longevity

Outliving financial assets as the result of a longer life.

Liquidity

Limited access to assets to meet life’s unexpected financial needs.

Inflation

Reduction in real purchasing power as the result of increasing cost of living.

Market

Unexpected reduction in the value of financial assets at the time of withdrawal.

Mortality

Loss of financial assets as the result of a partner’s or spouse’s death.

Taxes

Decreasing income and assets and/or the impairment of legacy assets from increasing taxes.

Value at Risk Analysis

Within the initial review, we help investors understand their risk threshold. We do this by deploying a Value at Risk (VaR) Analysis that helps us quantify attitudes toward financial uncertainty, specifically one’s emotional tolerance with respect to the magnitude and speed of potential investment loss.

This Analysis produces a VaR Score that is indexed on a scale from conservative to aggressive. The VaR Score can help us determine if the current portfolio aligns with the investor’s risk tolerance and provides insight as to whether changes to that portfolio are needed.

Apply Discipline

Research and Due Diligence

Simplicity Wealth’s rigorous research process provides a comprehensive suite of reliable investment capabilities and model portfolios. We vet, select, and continuously monitor over 150 asset managers and 1,000 strategies, evaluating them for risk management, diversification, and performance consistency. This disciplined, fiduciary-driven approach is paired with our proprietary risk scoring model, which grounds our clients’ investment expectations in their personal comfort level with market volatility.

AssetLock

AssetLock monitors the investor’s household portfolio value and AssetLock Value and communicates key changes to both the investor and financial advisor. This approach helps the investor capture portfolio gains and reduce the potential for losses by keeping the portfolio strategy and investor’s risk tolerance aligned.

How AssetLock Works

The hypothetical example below demonstrates using AssetLock on an initial portfolio valued at $100,000. The investor’s household Value at Risk (VaR) Analysis and portfolio allocation determined a 10% AssetLock Threshold desired in the portfolio making the starting AssetLock Value $90,000. If the portfolio experiences growth to a High-Water Value of $146,793, the AssetLock Value would then increase to $132,114. If the portfolio then experiences a 10% loss, breaching the AssetLock Value of $132,114, the financial advisor and investor will be notified to discuss the possibility of portfolio allocation adjustments.

AssetLock® is tracking software used to monitor the performance of a client’s household portfolio, and to predetermine the amount of downside the client is willing to tolerate. It is NOT an actual stop order and will NOT automatically sell the individual securities in the household portfolio. The AssetLock® Value is a reference point to encourage a conversation between the advisor/firm and the client to determine if the client’s household portfolio should remain unchanged, reset the AssetLock® Threshold by reallocating to a different risk profile, or liquidate part or all of their household portfolio. AssetLock® will send the client and their advisor alerts when the household portfolio reaches the client’s determined values, new all-time highs and/or the maximum targeted amount of downside the client is willing to accept. The client and their advisor are notified about changes in the client’s household portfolio. This notification requires that the client is subscribed to receive text message and/or email alerts from AssetLock®. Message frequency varies. Standard message and data rates may apply.
