s trategic wealth ManageMent
While it is true that wealth creates its own opportuni-ties, it is also true that wealth creates a unique set of challenges. We believe these challenges are best met through a deliberate, planned approach with trusted investment professionals. The Granzow Consulting Group stands out because our advisors provide you with objective viewpoints cultivated by extensive industry experience.
Investors like you are often inundated with conflicting information. Our role is to help you through the com-plexities of managing your wealth by remaining focused on a holistic, comprehensive plan designed to help you reach your goals and avoiding the lure of the latest investing fads.

WHAT YOU CAN COUNT ON
Expertise. We constantly upgrade our knowledge, seeking both traditional and innovative financial tools to benefit you and help you achieve your goals. We apply rigorous discipline to monitor your portfo-lio so you are always in balance.
Communication. Being accessible to you is inte-gral to our relationship. Our open-door policy means that we are available for full and candid discussions. We will answer all questions and encourage you to ask for clarification.
Diligence. We carefully and continuously monitor your plan and the capital markets. We will stay in contact with you through periodic reports and port-folio evaluations to continue to meet your needs.
Honesty. When we make recommendations, we will be clear with you about the potential for risk as well as reward.
It is your future. That is why we begin with an extensive discussion of your goals, time frame, risk tolerance and any other information that will help us create the right plan for you. Our team of experienced profes-sionals will then examine your current portfolio to determine if your goals and your plan are aligned and provide comprehensive feedback, including identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and potential threats in your current investment strategy.
This is where we show our mettle. It is the first step to earning what we hope is a lifelong relationship with you and a strong trust in us.

The Granzow Consulting Group uses a comprehensive approach to wealth management. For this process to achieve its full potential, we listen intently to our clients. We start by outlining your goals, taking items such as pension benefits, retirement income or your child’s education into consideration. Our team then performs a holistic analysis of your current situation and hold-ings, evaluating both risks and opportunities.
We divide your portfolio into three asset classes:
• Growth Assets • Risk-Managed Assets • Inflation Protection Assets
These asset classes are evaluated to assemble your portfolio as a whole. We consider each as we prepare a focused, risk-managed plan to ensure a balanced approach toward your financial goals.
Evaluate client’s long-term investment objectives.
Compile and assess client’s current assets
and liabilities.
Research and recommend appropriate investments, investment managers or
structured portfolios.
Explore and implement strategies to address specific needs in the client’s portfolio.
Monitor results, address changes in client’s circumstances,
and refine investment strategy as necessary.
Prepare an asset-allocation plan based on client’s objectives, risk
profile and time horizon.

OUR INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS
We see investments as much more than dollars — they represent your family’s future.
Understanding this helps us create and execute well-researched, customized financial strategies designed to preserve and enhance your wealth.
