Financial Planning
Once we’ve established your big-picture goals, we’ll look for opportunities to maximize your financial potential. We do this by creating strategies for saving, tax minimization*, charitable giving, estate planning, legacy planning, college savings, insurance, and more.
As part of our ongoing process, we’ll review all of these topics together with you, and adjustments will be made as goals and laws change, in order to stay up-to-date.
*We’re not tax advisors. We give guidance, but always recommend you consult with your tax advisor on any matters relating to your personal tax situation.
Investment Management
Our portfolios consist primarily of low-cost stock index and safer, fixed-income investments that are continuously monitored for rebalancing, tax-loss harvesting, and strategic withdrawal opportunities. That said, we can customize your portfolio to integrate current holdings and socially responsible preferences, as well as the integration of outside assets that cannot be moved to Torrey Wealth.
Service Culture
We know that financial transactions can be quite cumbersome. Our goal is to make them as easy and painless as possible for our clients. You can trust in our understanding of financial frameworks, attention to detail, and prompt responsiveness. Ultimately, we will advise you through transactions, your investments, have your back through it all.
We have partnered with other financial service companies that share the same values and have adopted the use of e-signature whenever possible for maximum efficiency. This significantly reduces transaction times and headaches, as we understand your time is valuable!
Fiduciary Promise
- We have a fundamental obligation to provide investment advice that always acts in our clients' best interests, as well as the affirmative duties of care and loyalty.
- We will avoid conflicts of interest whenever possible, and will disclose unavoidable conflicts of interest should they arise.
- We will serve our clients with integrity, objectivity, honesty, and professionalism.
- We will provide disclosure of all fees charged to clients.
Keys to Success
At Torrey Wealth, we believe the most complex endeavors are a series of simple tasks executed to perfection.
Our Capabilities
The Torrey Difference
We want to understand your entire situation, both financially and personally. Then we can create a plan to meet your goals
In a world full of ever-changing taxes, we stay current so you don’t have to. We go above and beyond to offer guidance for maximizing tax efficiency, which you can then bring to your tax advisor for approval.
We pride ourselves on being available to our clients at all times. If we can’t pick up when you call us, we’ll do everything possible to return your call the same day.
As a smaller company, we have the ability to trade quickly as the markets move, unlike larger companies, which often experience delays due to operational limitations and scaling issues
Our goal is to make sure you’re fully aware of what’s sustainable, which sometimes means recommending doing/spending more. Possible travel tips included. 🙂
Torrey Wealth knows YOU! So if any “phishy” activity is going on, you’ll be getting a call from us immediately. Most of the time the best security is that personal touch and a friendly voice reaching out to confirm instructions
We’re here for you in more ways than just managing investments. Over the years, we’ve helped clients find tax advisors, retirement communities, estate planning attorneys, retiree medical insurance and more using our extensive contacts within the community.
We believe strongly in the efficiencies of the stock market. This means we use many low-cost index investments to capture as much return as possible
