BFM Questionnaire


   Congratulations on your decision to develop a customized financial strategy!




   The purpose of this questionnaire is to get to know you a little better and understand your situation, your needs and what you would
   like to accomplish. It may also help you define important factors including the length of time you have to invest, your tax
   considerations, and your ability to withstand downside risk that may affect the value of your investment. Your feelings about
   investing and taking risks are also very important. Your answers will help build the base of information needed for the development
   of an appropriate asset allocation policy and financial plan.


   The information you provide is strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone without your consent. Our goal is to
   understand which personal and financial measures are most important to you, and to exceed them.


   This document is also a tool to help you review your whole financial situation and get a better vision of where you stand today.
   Please keep in mind that we can also construct this review together if you have any doubts about some of the elements listed
   below. If you are unsure of a certain response, please use a close estimate.



   For the initial consultation and the financial review, you may bring your financial materials (retirement/brokerage accounts
   statements, tax return, benefit statements from Social Security or employers, estate planning documents, insurance policies,
   mortgage and other loan statements,...).


   Our value proposition to you is to help you find out what is important to you and accomplish it. We look forward to providing you and
   your family with your customized financial plan.

BFM_Questionnaire_2011

  • 1. BFM Questionnaire Congratulations on your decision to develop a customized financial strategy! The purpose of this questionnaire is to get to know you a little better and understand your situation, your needs and what you would like to accomplish. It may also help you define important factors including the length of time you have to invest, your tax considerations, and your ability to withstand downside risk that may affect the value of your investment. Your feelings about investing and taking risks are also very important. Your answers will help build the base of information needed for the development of an appropriate asset allocation policy and financial plan. The information you provide is strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone without your consent. Our goal is to understand which personal and financial measures are most important to you, and to exceed them. This document is also a tool to help you review your whole financial situation and get a better vision of where you stand today. Please keep in mind that we can also construct this review together if you have any doubts about some of the elements listed below. If you are unsure of a certain response, please use a close estimate. For the initial consultation and the financial review, you may bring your financial materials (retirement/brokerage accounts statements, tax return, benefit statements from Social Security or employers, estate planning documents, insurance policies, mortgage and other loan statements,...). Our value proposition to you is to help you find out what is important to you and accomplish it. We look forward to providing you and your family with your customized financial plan.
