Our Unique Approach to Wealth Management
Jonathan discusses 3 core aspects of how our business is built that we feel sets us apart.
[0:00] Upbeat music starts lightly in background, continues through entire video.
[0:00] Jonathan Graves: At the Graves group we think there are three things that make us different. The first is our unique approach to portfolio management.
[0:05] Jonathan continues to speak through various images, background music continues.
[0:05] Jonathan Graves: My father Dennis holds the Portfolio Manager designation, that means he can make investment decisions on behalf of clients without having a verbal conversation before every trade. That really creates a unique level of customization for clients that many customers don’t get to experience in our industry. The second thing that we think sets us apart is our lengthy transition plan that we have in place. We’re currently in the ninth years of a fifteen year transition…

[0:27] Jonathan Graves: …which really allows our clients to build trust with the next generation of advisor who’s going to be managing their wealth. In an industry where the average age of advisor is 54, many of whom don’t currently have a transition plan in place, we think this is really beneficial for our clients. And finally, we believe that financial planning is a dynamic process that needs to be integrated into all life stages for our clients.

Our Family Business
Dennis discusses the seamless transition we have set up for our clients as well as our family business dynamic!
[0:00] Upbeat music starts lightly in background, continues through entire video.
[0:00] Dennis Graves: Here at the Graves Financial Advisory Group, we are very much a family orientated business.

[0:05] Dennis Graves: I can remember back some thirty years ago in 1993 when John was born. I remember talking to my wife and saying “Lana I think I have a succession plan for my business.” Interestingly, funnily enough, here we are some thirty year later and John is now nine years into my succession plan that we expect to last fifteen altogether. What is wonderful is that I have had an opportunity to work with my son, I’ve watched him grow and watched him work with clients, and watched how clients have gravitated towards him. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that your client base is going to be well cared for long after you are gone.
