Our Services
Essex Private provides a comprehensive set of wealth management services. Our focus is putting together a solid long-term financial plan that meets a client’s risk tolerance, income needs, time horizons, and investment objectives. Once a path has been determined for the client’s goals, the ongoing work involves investing client assets to achieve those goals. We work alongside the client’s existing advisors (tax accountants, estate attorneys) or can identify issues and make referrals to professionals who can assist.

Six important concepts:
-
Have a Plan: A documented plan forces forethought and commitment to priorities.
-
Be Disciplined: Stick to the plan and avoid the daily noise of the financial markets.
-
Diversify: Use different asset classes to reduce risk and increase returns.
-
Manage Risk: Take profits in positions along the way and sell to minimize losses.​
-
Manage Costs: Minimize the huge drag of taxes and keep portfolio expenses low.
All of the portfolios we manage are based on those key themes to increase the potential for most stable long-term returns.
