Our Practice
We believe that successful wealth management begins with the end in mind. Our primary focus is on helping families and individuals plan for their future income needs through distribution planning. We understand that accumulating wealth is a vital first step, and we know that individuals can achieve this on their own through disciplined savings, 401k contributions, selling a business, or inheriting wealth.
However, preserving that wealth, while taking an income, can be a daunting challenge without the guidance of a qualified wealth manager. This is where our services at Ronin come into play. We offer our clients access to a broad range of investment products beyond traditional stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, providing them with more options for building and maintaining their wealth for their entire lifetime and the next generations.
What is a Ronin
In feudal Japan, a ronin was a samurai who had lost their master or had left their master’s service for various reasons. As a result, they were not bound by any lord or style of fighting and were free to pursue their own interests and objectives.
Much like the ronin we never want a corporate’s interest to be above our clients. We are fiercely independent and fight for the best outcomes for those we serve. In today’s rapidly changing financial landscape, financial advisors need to be adaptable and flexible, much like the ronin.
As new investment products and technologies emerge, it’s important for our advisors to stay informed and open-minded, so we can provide the best possible advice and solutions to those we serve.
