Lenox Advisors
Private Wealth Management Group
Welcome
Achieving financial success does not always simplify life. In fact, affluence
generally increases the complexity of the decision-making process. The
greater one’s wealth, the more time and knowledge must be invested in
maintaining its growth, protection and ultimate distribution.

Attorneys, accountants, insurance professionals and financial planners can
offer invaluable advice, but because most offer services independent of one
another, it is often up to their clients to sift through the individual recom-
mendations, evaluating each to determine which are the most appropriate.

The ideal solution is a wealth management firm that can help define and
achieve each client’s unique, long-term goals through a comprehensive,
holistic program of investments, tax planning, asset allocation, risk manage-
ment, insurance, retirement planning and estate planning.

Lenox Advisors helps provide that solution... in an independent, objective
and integrated fashion.




                       A Single Source
Secure
                                                     Lenox Advisors is a unique Wealth Advisory firm focusing on high net worth individuals,
                                                     including corporate executives, business owners and entrepreneurs. Most of our clients
                                                     retain us to be their “personal CFO.” We coordinate all aspects of their financial lives,
                                                     including retirement planning, asset management, risk management, estate planning,
                                                     insurance, children’s college education, etc.

                                                     In Lenox’s Private Wealth Management Group, highly-skilled financial planning professionals,
                                                     CFP® practitioners, CPAs and others, craft the strategies and engineer the follow-through to
                                                     help ensure continued financial success as part of the Lenox CFO™ Program. Concurrently,
                                                     asset management strategists have the ability to access institutional money managers
                                                     matched to clients’ specific objectives.

                                                     Working in tandem allows each team member to become familiar with each client’s individual
                                                     needs and more efficiently integrate solutions into the overall financial plan. This reduces
                                                     the complexity in clients’ financial lives, which helps to increase clients’ financial security.

Streamline
What sets Lenox apart is the comprehensive nature of what we can accomplish as your
personal CFO, streamlining the financial planning process, with a focus on advice rather
than products.

Our technology gives Lenox Advisors and our clients the ability to organize information
from all their advisors and consolidate them in one place. The data is encrypted, secure
and automatically updated daily. This frees the client from the smallest (but often the most
critical) details of wealth management, giving them the freedom to devote more time and
attention to other important aspects of their lives.

        Strategize
Successful asset management is a process, not an event. Securing one’s
financial future, particularly in an uncertain economic environment, requires
continuous oversight by an integrated team of financial professionals who
are able to provide insightful advice and timely execution against agreed-
upon financial goals. Such oversight provides strategic perspectives on
specific issues, including: What asset allocation is appropriate for your level
of risk tolerance? Where should you own specific investments in order to
maximize after-tax returns? When should one overweight versus under-
weight certain asset classes?

                                            Lenox Advisors takes the time to listen to clients and understand how they accumulated
                                            their wealth. Was it success in a self-made business, inherited money, a concentrated
                                            stock holding in a public company? Lenox then develops an investment strategy based on
                                            each client’s particular financial goals including their spending needs, multi-generational
                                            estate planning goals, retirement and future philanthropic aspirations. We believe success-
                                            ful asset management should be part of overall estate, business and financial planning.

                                            ASSET ALLOCATION
                                            Lenox Advisors takes an institutional approach to individual investing, encouraging clients
                                            to approach their portfolio asset allocation similar to a college endowment or charitable
                                            foundation. We believe global, multi-asset class portfolios of stock, bond, and alternative
                                            investments have the best potential to protect assets and generate strong returns while
                                            minimizing risk. Emphasizing asset classes and investment vehicles that have little or no
                                            correlation over a market cycle helps to increase success.

Lenox Advisors Private Wealth Management Group Simplifies Financial Planning

  • 1. Lenox Advisors Private Wealth Management Group
  • 2. Welcome Achieving financial success does not always simplify life. In fact, affluence generally increases the complexity of the decision-making process. The greater one’s wealth, the more time and knowledge must be invested in maintaining its growth, protection and ultimate distribution. Attorneys, accountants, insurance professionals and financial planners can offer invaluable advice, but because most offer services independent of one another, it is often up to their clients to sift through the individual recom- mendations, evaluating each to determine which are the most appropriate. The ideal solution is a wealth management firm that can help define and achieve each client’s unique, long-term goals through a comprehensive, holistic program of investments, tax planning, asset allocation, risk manage- ment, insurance, retirement planning and estate planning. Lenox Advisors helps provide that solution... in an independent, objective and integrated fashion. A Single Source
  • 3. Secure Lenox Advisors is a unique Wealth Advisory firm focusing on high net worth individuals, including corporate executives, business owners and entrepreneurs. Most of our clients retain us to be their “personal CFO.” We coordinate all aspects of their financial lives, including retirement planning, asset management, risk management, estate planning, insurance, children’s college education, etc. In Lenox’s Private Wealth Management Group, highly-skilled financial planning professionals, CFP® practitioners, CPAs and others, craft the strategies and engineer the follow-through to help ensure continued financial success as part of the Lenox CFO™ Program. Concurrently, asset management strategists have the ability to access institutional money managers matched to clients’ specific objectives. Working in tandem allows each team member to become familiar with each client’s individual needs and more efficiently integrate solutions into the overall financial plan. This reduces the complexity in clients’ financial lives, which helps to increase clients’ financial security. LENOX ADVISORS OFFERS: Comprehensive Strategies ○ Private Wealth Management ○ Fee-Based Financial Planning/Lenox CFO™ ○ Asset Management ○ Insurance Brokerage ○ Life Insurance ○ Disability Income Insurance ○ Long Term Care Insurance ○ Annuities ○ Lenox Corporate Benefits ○ Group Insurance Benefits ○ Corporate Executive Carve-Out Insurance Programs ○ Lenox RPC™ (Retirement Plan Consultancy) Platform
  • 4. Lenox CFO™ Simplify As their wealth grows, most affluent individuals express concern that their financial lives are increasingly complex. They face a wide array of compli- cated decisions every day: • How can they secure their financial future, including estate planning, retire- ment, insurance and asset management? • How do they best allocate their assets to match their short and long-term needs, while addressing their philanthropic goals? • How can they afford to help care for aging parents, while minimizing the financial impact on their family? As a single-source financial advocate—their personal CFO—Lenox works collaboratively with clients’ advisors to create a focused, integrated strategy that drives all present and future financial-related decisions. The Lenox CFO™, the firm’s proprietary platform for simplifying the financial planning process, enables Lenox to coordinate each client’s financial matters—from risk management and estate planning* to asset management and insurance. “We help our clients realize their dreams by integrating and overseeing virtually every aspect of their financial lives. ” Lenox CFO™ Michael Book, Managing Partner, Lenox Advisors
  • 5. Lenox CFO™ Streamline What sets Lenox apart is the comprehensive nature of what we can accomplish as your personal CFO, streamlining the financial planning process, with a focus on advice rather than products. Our technology gives Lenox Advisors and our clients the ability to organize information from all their advisors and consolidate them in one place. The data is encrypted, secure and automatically updated daily. This frees the client from the smallest (but often the most critical) details of wealth management, giving them the freedom to devote more time and attention to other important aspects of their lives. Organize and Consolidate ○ Cash Flow/Retirement Planning ○ “What if” Scenarios ○ Expense Modeling ○ Retirement Income and Distribution Strategies ○ Tax Minimization Strategies ○ Balance Sheet/Net Worth Statements ○ Estate Planning Strategies ○ Risk Management/Insurance Audits ○ Asset Allocation Strategies ○ Account Aggregation ○ Education Funding ○ Lenox Vault for all Personal Documents ○ Lenox Money-Smart Kids™ Program ○ Financial Literacy Resources ○ Age-Based Lesson Plans for Children
  • 6. Lenox CFO™ Communicate A key differentiator of Lenox is our values-based approach to wealth management and how it threads throughout your relationship with Lenox. All our recommendations are sourced through your “Personal Money Constitution,” a document reflecting your (and your family’s) relationship to money. For example, what are the values you grew up with and what do you want to pass on to your children? What values do you and your spouse agree and disagree on? What would we have to do together over the next five years for you to believe we’ve succeeded in managing your financial affairs? Realizing that wealth management is often a family issue, Lenox developed a proprietary platform, the Lenox Money-Smart Kids™ Program, to help parents communicate their finan- cial values and educate their children about money and philanthropy. Lenox knows preserv- ing generational wealth cannot be accomplished without preserving values. Financial Values “Managing your wealth can be an intimidating process. We turn anxiety into empowerment by becoming our clients’ personal CFO and developing a set of financial goals and a game plan for achieving them. ” Rick Van Benschoten, CFP® Managing Partner, Lenox Advisors ,
  • 7. Lenox Asset Management Strategize Successful asset management is a process, not an event. Securing one’s financial future, particularly in an uncertain economic environment, requires continuous oversight by an integrated team of financial professionals who are able to provide insightful advice and timely execution against agreed- upon financial goals. Such oversight provides strategic perspectives on specific issues, including: What asset allocation is appropriate for your level of risk tolerance? Where should you own specific investments in order to maximize after-tax returns? When should one overweight versus under- weight certain asset classes? Lenox Asset Management
  • 8. Lenox Asset Management Access Lenox Advisors takes the time to listen to clients and understand how they accumulated their wealth. Was it success in a self-made business, inherited money, a concentrated stock holding in a public company? Lenox then develops an investment strategy based on each client’s particular financial goals including their spending needs, multi-generational estate planning goals, retirement and future philanthropic aspirations. We believe success- ful asset management should be part of overall estate, business and financial planning. ASSET ALLOCATION Lenox Advisors takes an institutional approach to individual investing, encouraging clients to approach their portfolio asset allocation similar to a college endowment or charitable foundation. We believe global, multi-asset class portfolios of stock, bond, and alternative investments have the best potential to protect assets and generate strong returns while minimizing risk. Emphasizing asset classes and investment vehicles that have little or no correlation over a market cycle helps to increase success. INVESTMENT VEHICLES Lenox Advisors has no proprietary products, and utilizes an open architecture approach ○ Access to Separately Managed Accounts through consulting firms that assist in the initial and ongoing reviews of institutional ○ Municipal and Taxable Bond Portfolios money managers.
