“We are a tight-knit, dedicated team and as a result we are able to move quickly and effectively in our industry. People come to us, and stay with us, because of the relationships we build with our clients and their families.“ – Andrew Barrett
Our team brings deep knowledge and experience to our clients and the low-country community.
Personally tailored wealth management services
We know that individuals and their families have unique wealth management needs and goals. After a thorough review and understanding of your financial objectives and circumstance, we provide custom and comprehensive wealth management strategies.
Free from conflict of interest
Governed by our strict fiduciary standards, we are without the conflicts of interest that often exist in the larger multi-faceted financial institutions.
Combined expertise from an extensive network
We are supported by the power and resources of innovative specialty firms, which enable us to continually research, analyze, and select what we believe to be the best of breed solutions, with no conflicts of interest to help clients succeed.
We also identify where our clients need expertise and can assemble an extensive network of independent service providers in the fields of accounting, law, and insurance.
More objective, more cost-effective
Our open architecture platform is more objective, cost effective and opportunistic than those required by national and regional financial companies. We provide a premium service at a low cost to you.
