Welcome to your financial home!
JEDI is a Registered Investment Advisor & Wealth Management Firm rendering services in the areas of personal financial/estate and business planning. JEDI is in the business of providing advice and designing solutions to best meet the goals, needs and objectives at hand.JEDI serves its clients in a fiduciary capacity. All services cover one or more areas within wealth management – involving the accumulation, growth, maintenance, preservation and distribution/dissemination of one’s assets/resources.Even if JEDI is providing a stand-alone service (e.g. investment management), it is important to have a clear picture of one’s entire financial life (e.g. balance sheet; cash flow; other quantitative metrics along with qualitative factors) since the management of wealth is an integrated and coordinated process.
Below contains JEDI’s typical services; however, they may be tailored to meet the specific and unique needs/circumstances of a given client. Additionally, JEDI frequently works with other professionals for the ultimate benefit of its clients (e.g. including, but not limited to, attorneys, such as estate planning attorneys, accountants, pension actuaries, lenders, etc.). Finally, since life is ever-changing all plans/planning should be viewed in terms of a life-cycle rather than as a one-time, set-it and forget-it endeavor.
