Metcalf Partners Wealth Management once had a mission statement regarding how our team puts you in a better position to succeed in financial endeavors and about how we leave you with a better understanding of and vision for your future than you had before we met. It was heartfelt, but we ditched it.

The truth is that our mission changes every minute, every hour, and every day because our mission is based on your short- and long-term financial, retirement, and estate planning mission.

Having a mission statement doesn’t matter to you or us. Mission statements can say anything. It’s what we do that builds trust. In wealth management, mission statements are easy to come by. Trust takes asking, listening, planning, and follow through.

We’ve found a simple, logical strategy based on fundamentals such as savings rates, asset allocation, risk tolerance, and distribution planning is often the most effective one.

Our talk about mission statements? We mean it. That’s why we’re independent financial advisors, which eliminates many conflicts of interest that exist in the financial services world.

Metcalf Partners Wealth Management’s advisors do not sell proprietary products, so we make objective recommendations instead of ones that could end up benefitting us more so than you.

No strategy or plan assures success or protects against loss.
