Every client’s circumstances are unique, and this requires analysis and guidance that meets the distinctive needs of each situation. Day to day, Kurt monitors client accounts and assists his team with implementing comprehensive plans for clients, which take into account investment management as well as tax and estate-planning considerations. It’s important to Kurt to work for a firm whose driving principle is doing what is in the clients’ best interests through an evidence-driven approach.
