Our Proprietary Tool: Wealth Scorecard™
A Wealth Scorecard™ is a comprehensive tool used by Pinnacle to evaluate and measure the performance of a client’s wealth management program. This scorecard is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of how well the client's financial goals are being met and how effectively their wealth is being managed.
The key components of a wealth management scorecard for a client may include:
Financial Goals Achievement: Assessing the progress towards the client's financial goals, such as retirement savings, education funding, or wealth transfer, and determining the extent to which these goals have been achieved.
Investment Performance: Evaluating the returns generated by the client's investment portfolio relative to agreed-upon benchmarks and considering factors like risk-adjusted returns.
Risk Management: Analyzing the alignment between the client's risk tolerance and the risk exposure of their investment portfolio. This involves assessing the volatility and downside protection measures in place.
Costs and Fees: Reviewing the fees associated with managing the client's wealth and ensuring that they are reasonable and provide value for the services rendered.
Asset Allocation: Examining the distribution of assets within the client's portfolio to ensure it aligns with their risk profile, investment time horizon, and overall financial strategy.
Diversification: Assessing the level of diversification within the portfolio to manage risk effectively and capture potential opportunities in different market segments.
Liquidity Management: Evaluating the client's liquidity position and ensuring that there is an appropriate balance between liquid and illiquid assets to meet short-term and long-term financial needs.
Tax Efficiency: Considering the tax implications of the investment strategy and identifying opportunities for tax optimization to enhance after-tax returns.
Communication and Service Satisfaction: Gathering feedback on the client's satisfaction with the communication and service provided by the wealth management team, including regular updates, accessibility of advisors, and responsiveness to inquiries.
Financial Planning Adherence: Confirming that the wealth management strategy aligns with the client's broader financial plan, including adherence to financial planning principles and adjustments for changes in the client's circumstances.
