Advisory Business
Financial Planning Services
Wilon helps people grow and protect their wealth using our full-service wealth
management process.
Wilon’s Financial Planning services help individuals and families identify, clarify and act
upon their financial and life goals.
Key components:
1. Retirement Planning
2. Estate Planning
3. Investment Planning
4. Tax and Cash Flow Planning
5. Risk Management Planning
6. Charitable Planning
7. Education Planning
Financial planning is not something that is completed. It is a continuous process.
Wilon believes that all successful lifetime investing is goal focused and planning driven.
As such, we aspire to engage clients that see the value in allowing the financial planning
process to drive their asset management decisions, not the other way around.
Asset Management Services
Wilon offers ongoing asset management services based on the individual goals,
objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance of each client. Wilon creates an Investment
Policy Statement for each client, which outlines the client’s current situation and then
constructs a plan to aid in the selection of a portfolio that matches each client's specific
situation.
Wilon seeks to make investment decisions that are in accordance with the fiduciary
duties owed to its accounts and without consideration of Wilon’s economic, investment
or other financial interests. To meet its fiduciary obligations, Wilon attempts to avoid,
among other things, investment or trading practices that systematically advantage or
disadvantage certain client portfolios, and accordingly, Wilon’s policy is to seek fair and
equitable allocation of investment opportunities/transactions among its clients to avoid
favoring one client over another over time. It is Wilon’s policy to allocate investment
opportunities and transactions it identifies as being appropriate and prudent on a fair and
equitable basis over time.
Third-Party Money Managers
Wilon may determine that opening an account with a professional third-party money
manager is in the client’s best interest.
These programs allow clients to obtain portfolio management services that typically
require higher minimum account sizes outside of the program. The money managers
selected under these programs will have discretion to determine the securities they buy
and sell within the account, subject to reasonable restrictions imposed by the client. Due
to the nature of these programs, each of the independent money managers is obligated
to provide you with a separate disclosure document. Clients should carefully review this
document for important and specific program details, including pricing.
Under these programs, Wilon may:
Assist in the identification of investment objectives
Recommend specific investment style and asset allocation strategies
Assist in the selection of appropriate money managers and review performance and
progress
Recommend reallocation among managers or styles within the program
Recommend the hiring and firing of money manages utilized by the client
Clients should read the ADV Part 2 disclosure document of the money manager the client
selects for complete details on the charges and fees that the client will incur.
Types of Investments
Wilon may also provide you with investment advice on :
Mutual funds
ETFs (exchange-traded funds)
Index funds
Index annuities
REITs (real estate investment trusts)
529 college savings plans
Alternative investments
Insurance products (including annuities and life insurance)
Note: This may not be an all-inclusive list.
C.
Client Tailored Services and Client Imposed Restrictions
Wilon will tailor a program for each individual client. This will include an interview
session to get to know the client’s specific needs and requirements as well as a plan that
will be executed by Wilon on behalf of the client. Wilon may use model allocations
together with a specific set of recommendations for each client based on their personal
restrictions, needs, and targets. Clients may impose restrictions in investing in certain
securities or types of securities in accordance with their values or beliefs. However, if the
restrictions prevent Wilon from properly servicing the client account, or if the restrictions
would require Wilon to deviate from its standard suite of services, Wilon reserves the
right to end the relationship.
D.
Wrap Fee Programs
Wilon does not participate in any wrap fee programs.
