Wealth Management

Your wealth is a reflection of years of effort. We honor what you’ve achieved by putting in a colossal effort to take great care of you and your family. We take pride in being a proactive team that does what we say we’ll do.

Here’s what a Hapanowicz financial advisor can help you with.

Our Services

Estate Planning and Asset Protection

You’ve built wealth worth protecting. Protect your wealth from unnecessary exposure and risks. HF can assist and guide you in protecting your wealth and transferring your wealth. We’ll help you secure your legacy by ensuring your assets are properly safeguarded. Hapanowicz acts as your quarterback and works with our trusted legal partners to coordinate your financial plan with your estate plan. This synergy ensures you have the highest level of protection possible.

Insurance Analysis & Strategy

Our team will review your existing policies (life, long-term care, umbrella, and others) and provide recommendations to integrate and optimize your insurance strategy with your financial plan.

If you don’t have adequate insurance, we can help guide you to efficient options that pair with the plan we create.

Financial Planning

After a thorough discovery process, we’ll develop a plan to help maximize what your money can do.

We start with cash flow. We’ll establish spending targets in line with your income sources and expected investment growth.

Our team will check in with you throughout the year to see how life has changed. Sometimes this means adjusting your plan, other times it provides us with helpful context for future developments.

We can also provide guidance with education planning, estate purchases, and philanthropy planning, anything else financial-related.

Whatever journey you’re on, we’re your personal consultant to help you confidently enjoy your money.

Investment Management

Our process is based on time-tested methods. We strive to capture as much market upside as possible while keeping portfolio risk and expenses to a minimum.

We use globally diversified, cost-effective, and tax-efficient portfolios with a tilt toward value-driven stocks. We avoid alternative investments because of their high expenses and mediocre long-term performance record.

Our strategies are passive at the security level but active at the portfolio layer. Our investment team is data and research-driven to ensure careful decisions are made with your portfolio.

Transparency of our process is paramount. It’s critical that you feel comfortable with how your money is put to use. To whatever degree you’d like, we’ll carefully explain and help you understand exactly how your investments work.

For those who need extra sophistication, we offer cash management portfolios targeting higher yields for short-term funds.

Tax Strategy and Preparation

Growing your wealth is a priority. Maintaining it is important, too. Our full-service approach combines tax strategy and in-house tax preparation, focused on creating seamless alignment with your financial goals.

We provide detailed guidance on deferred compensation structure and payout strategies, executive pensions, concentrated stock positions, and stock option strategies.

Nobody can control what happens with the market, but we can be by your side and help you manage your response to give you the best opportunity for long-term success. Our systematic planning approach ensures we’re analytical and proactive with all your financial needs.
