Becoming a Wilson David Investment Advisory Client

 

At Wilson David, getting to know your current financial profile is the key ingredient in helping us prepare your financial plan and an appropriate investment strategy tailored to you. To make things as simple as possible, we use the following process:

 

Initial Interview

 

The purpose of the initial interview (in our office, at your home, or by phone) is to learn your objectives and determine whether Wilson David can help you achieve your goals. If we agree we are a good mutual fit, we will send you an introductory letter, along with our Privacy Policy, Form ADV Part 1,  ADV Part 2 (Disclosure Brochure), and Client Profile Questionnaire.

 

Client Meeting

 

During this consultation, we’ll review the information that you provided in the questionnaire. This meeting will help us get everything on the table and review your current financial situation, priorities, and long-term goals. We will explore your risk tolerance, address your concerns, and answer questions that may not have been discussed during the initial interview.

 

Proposal Letter

 

Next, we will prepare a proposal letter based on the information you provided and our conversation on your risk tolerance and financial goals. The proposal letter documents our understanding of your desires and our suggestions; if we are not on the same page, we can make changes as needed to get it just right. Along with the proposal letter, we will also prepare the necessary new account paperwork required by Wilson David and by our custodian, Folio.

 

Once the paperwork is returned, we will start preparation of your Investment Policy Statement.  Generally, we’ll have your policy statement done within one two weeks.
