American Trust Wealth can help you put your financial plan into action.
Developing a plan is just the starting point; financial success is best achieved when that plan is actively monitored, managed and adjusted to your changing lifestyle. Financial goals come in all shapes and sizes – some long-term, some immediate.
No matter the time frame, we can help you balance your objectives and help put you on track to meet your goals.
Financial Planning
It all starts with defining your goals. Your financial goals are as unique as you are. We work with you to first define your goals and then tailor a personalized investment plan so you can achieve them. And developing a plan is just the starting point. A plan only achieves success when it is actively managed and monitored along the way. As your goals evolve, you can count on us to make sure the plans are in place to help you achieve financial success.
Investment Management
Selecting investments with your goals in mind. We offer a full range of investment management services and work with you to determine your risk tolerance and asset allocation. We use an open architecture platform that allows access to over 20,000 investment options. We are not tied to any product line, and we objectively evaluate every investment using fiduciary best practices. In fact, any revenue-sharing payments we receive from fund companies are passed back to you to offset your fees. This means that investment selections are always made in your best interest, not ours. We have also been certified annually by the Centre for Fiduciary Excellence (CEFEX) since 2006, meaning that we voluntarily undertake annual audits by independent expert analysts to continually verify our adherence to the highest standards of fiduciary best practices in our industry.
Dividend Growth
We believe a history of success is a clear indicator of favorable outcomes in the future. At American Trust Wealth, we understand the importance of investments that provide investors with a growing stream of income over time, but that also offer the peace of mind of knowing that you are investing in companies with a history of success. The Dividend Growth Strategy consists of companies that have a meaningful, sustainable, competitive advantage. These companies have consistently grown their dividends over the years and have been excellent stewards of capital. We seek companies with rising dividends and potential capital appreciation, and we strive for higher returns on investments. We seek companies whose definable intrinsic values should continue to grow over time.
