At enCompass Wealth Management, we focus on two key processes: financial planning and portfolio creation. While we are instrumental in implementing a highly disciplined, institutional-quality portfolio management process on behalf of our investor clientele, simply focusing on risk, return and correlation dynamics in a portfolio management process is not enough for success. There needs to be ongoing, long-term strategic guidance to navigate clients toward their goals.
As a practice, we emphasize the importance of financial planning and creating a core advisory team by integrating all client-trusted professionals—namely tax and estate—into the advisory process in order to satisfactorily assess and address all issues from multiple professional disciplines. In cases where clients lack these essential professional relationships, a core advisory team can be readily implemented with outside professionals with which our organization maintains a working relationship. These selected individuals are demographically positioned to span generations, providing continuity in serving clients and their families today and in carrying out their long-range wealth management and legacy plans.

Financial Planning Process
Financial planning is an ongoing process, not a one-time event. A financial plan needs to be continually reviewed as we experience life. The financial planning process consists of six steps that involve a commitment from both parties:
- Defining client goals, needs and objectives.
- Gathering and providing all appropriate data.
- Examining the result of the current course of actions if no changes are made.
- Formulating any recommended actions and/or alternatives.
- Implementing recommendations.
- Monitoring and reviewing your financial situation and investments on an ongoing basis.
Portfolio Creation Process
The portfolio creation process centers on four key steps:
- Assessing your risk tolerance, understanding your objectives and developing an investment policy statement.
- Constructing a diversified portfolio for your intended purposes.
- Monitoring your portfolio and making any necessary adjustments to keep you on course.
- Reporting portfolio performance through detailed monthly account statements and quarterly performance reports.
