Our mission and passion is to enhance the quality of our clients lives through the delivery of thoughtful, customized wealth management solutions and exceptional client experiences.
At AFG we utilize a goals oriented, multiple portfolio approach to personal wealth management, versus the traditional, consolidated single investment portfolio approach commonly used by many firms. Traditional Wealth Management Approach A traditional investment portfolio is typically managed based on achieving certain performance targets or compared to the performance of a benchmark. Often, portfolios are built using a single pool of assets and investment strategy. This traditional way of approaching wealth management makes it challenging for an investor to measure progress toward any single goal. Sample Traditional Investment Portfolio* Large Cap Equity Mid/Small Cap Equity Emerging Markets Equity International Equity Core Fixed Income High Yield Bond * Hypothetical example used for illustrative purposes only and does not represent any specific investment. Actual results will vary. How Are You Currently Invested? Are your current investments structured to help you achieve the life you envision? Are they properly integrated with all aspects of your wealth and life?
Goals Based Approach Align your wealth with your life goals, dreams, and aspirations A goals based wealth management approach is designed to help you properly align your wealth with your life. Integrating your life and wealth into a cohesive investment strategy based on achieving specific life goals, rather than just investing to meet a performance target or exceed a benchmark, leads to more relevant goal driven investment decisions. Goals Based Investment Process Goals based investing begins with identifying specific life goals that you want to accomplish through your investment programs. Based on these specific goals and your personal investment philosophies, individual investment pools, each with its own tailored investment strategy, are then established for each goal or group of goals that have similar characteristics. Examples of Goals Based Portfolios Current Lifestyle Future Lifestyle Legacy Creation Stability Focused Portfolio Money Market High Yield Bond Short Term Bond Real Estate Time Focused Portfolio Large Cap Equity Intermediate Bonds International Bonds Emerging Markets Market Focused Portfolio Mid Cap Equity Small Cap Equity International Equity Alternative Investments Goals based portfolios are able to match multiple goals with investment portfolios that match the risk and return needs of each specific goal. The Portfolios shown above are for illustrative purposes only. This does not represent individually tailored investment advice. Actual portfolio allocations will vary based on individual circumstances. The asset classes are not necessarily suitable for all investors.
