Rick Van Benschoten, CFP® Managing Partner, Lenox Advisors

As their wealth grows, affluent individuals express concern that their financial lives are increasingly
complex. They face a wide array of complicated decisions every day. How can they secure their financial
future, including estate planning, retirement and asset management? How do they communicate their
financial values to their children? What is the best way to care for aging parents? How do they meet
philanthropic aspirations?

Lenox Asset Management
Successful wealth 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 an
agreed-upon set of financial goals. Such oversight provides strategic perspectives on specific issues,
including: What asset allocation is appropriate for your level of risk tolerance? Or, in which accounts
should you own specific investments in order to maximize after-tax returns?

7. “The one certain way to improve investment returns is to reduce expenses, and the greatest
expense in most investment portfolios is taxes. We believe wealth is amassed by focusing on
after-tax returns, not pretax returns.”
