CFM Horizon™ – Financial Road Map
Our proprietary Cash Flow Model seeks to create a visually straightforward roadmap which helps uncover opportunities, optimizes resources, and results in integrated, logical, forward looking perspective. Designed in-house and customized to each client, our model is critical to understanding the numerous components of our clients’ financial lives, while providing a sound basis for investment, estate, retirement, and tax planning.
Singular Investment Planning Process
We believe the only way to define risk is qualitatively AND quantitatively. CFM Horizon™ provides deeper insight than a traditional risk questionnaire. Where suitable, it charts a measurable and systematic means to gain a complete understanding of a client’s financial affairs, and quantify how much risk they need to take in order to arrive at the investment allocation that meets their objectives. By integrating this with the more subjective qualitative measures, our solutions-oriented investment planning process produces prudent strategic and tactical portfolios that help our clients focus on the things that are important to them.
Comprehensive Oversight
Because we believe that asset allocation* is a main driver of risk and return, we can monitor investment assets that are not held by our firm and report all holdings in a consolidated fashion. This approach provides the comprehensive oversight required in order to properly allocate a client’s portfolio for best possible outcomes.
*Asset allocation does not guarantee against a loss.
Fiduciary Duty
A fiduciary holds a legal or ethical relationship of trust. Fiduciary duty carries with it the highest standard of care as defined by the law. The majority of wealth management professionals and/or investment advisors are not fiduciaries and are bound by much less stringent regulations. Capital Advisors, Ltd. is a Registered Investment Adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which means we are required by regulation to act in our clients' best interests.
Transparent, Predictable, Competitive Fee
Our fee is based upon investment assets under management is competitively priced and inclusive of financial planning.
