SVDG Partners

Welcome

We understand that when clients share their finances, you are welcoming us to a very personal element of your life. We partner closely to help articulate your aspirations and how you want your wealth to support and inspire your lifestyle, your families, future generations and the community around you.

If you had a conversation with us, you would learn that…

Like many of our clients, we've built our business from scratch, and we personally know what it's like to walk in your shoes. We value the relationships we've developed along that path and take pride in the dynamic manner in which our team interacts with each other as a family. Our most important objective is to foster the same deep connection with our clients. Our candid—and sometimes challenging—conversations strengthen this bond, and we work together to achieve your goals. You will never have to wonder if we will pick up the phone, or ever ask yourself where you stand. We are strongly interested in the events of your life and consider it our mission to keep you on track during both good and difficult times.

You can't call our team soon enough

We believe that deploying assets and resources without a plan is a recipe for stress, problems and ultimately suboptimal returns. Our clients look to us as their financial guides throughout life, particularly during turbulent times. This role—of confidant and consultant—is the one we value most.

As CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER^® professionals, we proactively think outside the box and beyond the typical parameters. While our mandate is the creation, implementation and ongoing supervision of investment strategies, we consider it our duty to highlight the elements we feel are often overlooked by advisors that don't have the capabilities or experience to provide these services.

Through this discipline of planning, we emphasize approaches that prioritize your objectives and we provide clarity to translate that into one overall investment strategy. We evaluate the impacts of individual financial decisions and we assess the intangible elements that are not always easily quantified. Then we integrate them into a single, comprehensive plan—wealth transfer, trusts and estates, lending, retirement and more.

Pulling it all together for you

Our holistic approach and ability to access a breadth of specialties are essential to enhancing your overall financial picture. In other words, we ensure that your wealth functions as a whole. By collaborating alongside your accountants, lawyers and other trusted advisors, we keep your strategies tied together.
Most importantly, we can deliver advice that makes sense. We filter out market noise and focus on the innovative ideas and best practices that we know have been useful for other successful families.
