Wealth Preservation
Preserving your wealth is as important as building it. We can help with asset protection strategies including creating an estate plan that protects your assets from creditors and minimizes taxes. We can also utilize trusts to ensure assets are effectively preserved for your heirs.
Our Wealth Management Philosophy
Investing can be bewildering & worrisome: Will the market go up or down? How much should I invest? Am I diversified enough? Is my portfolio safe?
Using an investment strategy to fit your plan, we eliminate those worries. Your investment strategy will fit your financial plan, with careful consideration for your personal and financial needs as well as your tolerance for risk. As a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), our investment advice is completely unbiased — we are entirely focused on your needs & goals. Together, we will craft your investment policy statement, a mission statement, and a course of action designed to guide your investment strategy. This statement takes into account your personal level of risk tolerance, your investment time horizon, and the optimum asset allocation needed to achieve your goals.
Good Investment Management Requires Independent Thinking
We believe that the most effective investment management approach is through independent, objective thinking. We are an independent wealth management firm employed by our clients only. Our independence allows us to seek the best-in-class investments to meet your needs. We provide full transparency of costs and have no bias or incentive to purchase investments because of fee sharing arrangements that are common in proprietary funds at other larger firms. We pass on that savings to our clients. Our structure allows us to focus on our client interest without bias or influence.

Low-Cost Institutional and Index Funds
In today’s low-return environment, controlling investment expenses is crucial. After all, your investment returns are reduced by taxes and inflation as well as expenses. While you cannot control taxes or inflation, you can control expenses. At Leading Edge Wealth Management LLC, we strive to utilize low-expense vehicles, including Exchange Traded Funds, Institutional Funds, and Index Funds to limit your investment expenses and allow you to capture more of the market’s returns.
