2. Wealth is always accompanied by complexity — whether
preserving assets in the face of volatile markets, leaving
a legacy without subjecting heirs to excessive taxation,
exiting a successful business or protecting a substantial
employer stock position.
We can help you simplify.

3. Traditionally, wealthy individuals and families
have attempted to address these issues by
hiring multiple financial professionals – each
specializing in a different discipline. However, these
advisors tend to work isolated from each other,
without an over-arching plan to guide them.
Our highly trained team of Certified Financial Planners
will work with our investment, insurance and estate
planning specialists to devise a comprehensive plan
that helps protect and preserve your wealth. We
will act as your primary point of contact working
with your existing advisors, coordinating all facets
of your financial life and allowing you the freedom
to focus on what is most important to you.

OUR VISION
5. 4
Financial Planning
At Lenox Advisors, we take the
time to understand your needs,
goals and values. We then develop
your personalized financial plan
to help protect and preserve
what’s most important to you.
Asset Allocation Analysis
Our first step is to understand
your investment objectives and
priorities. We then construct a
portfolio with the appropriate mix
of equities, fixed income securities and alternative investments.
Specialists will align your asset allocation with your goals, monitor
your portfolio and advise you on any required future adjusting.
Risk Management & Insurance Strategies
No financial plan is complete without a full review of your
existing insurance and overall risk management strategy. If
you need life, disability income, long-term care, property and
casualty, liability or even a more complex solution, we will identify
the approach most appropriate for you and your family.
Estate, Gift & Trust Planning
Estate, gift and trust planning is more than wealth transfer upon
death. Our estate planning process integrates your goals and values
for a tax efficient disposition of your assets during life and beyond.

develop a tax-efficient funding strategy to help you achieve that goal.

rewarding — process. We’ll help you identify your specific goals for
giving, and align your passion with a tailored, tax-efficient action plan.

financial advisor, we can assure your plan is implemented as designed
and stays on course — giving you the satisfaction of knowing that all
the elements of your financial life are working together.

8. We believe global, multi-asset class portfolios of
equities, fixed income and alternative investments
offer the greatest potential for optimal risk-adjusted
returns – whether your goal is to grow or preserve
principal. That’s why we construct a personalized
investment strategy and recommend a mix of asset
classes that align with your investment objective and
risk tolerance.

Tailored investment strategy
Our fact finding process is fundamental. We
strive to learn more about your life goals, risk
tolerance, liquidity needs and other unique
circumstances. Armed with this knowledge, we
build an investment strategy that is customized to
your specific situation. And, since we do not offer
proprietary products, you can be assured that our
recommendations will be unbiased and place
your interest first.
Creating a Diversified Portfolio
Upon agreeing to your investment strategy, we
then build a portfolio using a combination of
passively and actively managed strategies. The
underlying investment solutions in our portfolios
include: Exchange Traded Funds, mutual funds,
separately managed accounts and appropriate
limited partnerships. We believe the combination
of passive and active strategies creates better
long-term performance and improved tax
efficiency, while keeping expenses to a minimum.
Managing Your Portfolio
Lenox Advisors will be there at every stage of your
investment progression — from setting up your
account to transferring assets to adjusting your
asset allocation. It is critical to remember that
as your life changes and your financial situation
evolves, so will your target asset allocation. We’ll
assess your circumstances as they change and
offer new insights and strategies to help you
manage your wealth — keeping you on track
towards your goals.

Redefining wealth management
A wealth
management model
built around you

that many of our clients are
financial executives who work for
major banks, brokerage firms
and money managers. They
seek us out for our objectivity
and comprehensive focus that
distinguishes us from other
alternatives available to them.

prevented you from taking the
necessary steps to preserve,
protect and pass on what you’ve
worked so hard to accumulate,
contact us for a consultation.
We think you’ll agree that there
is a difference among wealth
managers — the right one
can simplify your financial life
considerably while providing
you with solutions to your most
difficult challenges.
Lenox Advisors’ unique approach to wealth management has earned praise
from the financial press. “The epitome of wealth management done right,”
wrote Investment Advisor magazine, which went on to call our business model,
“one of the best in the industry.” Our approach is founded on our uncommon
ability to coordinate all aspects of your financial life by combining an
unprecedented level of specialized expertise and an exceptional level of service.
