Helping clients achieve financial freedom since 1977

The DDIMG mission is simple, to help every client achieve financial freedom through active investment management, comprehensive financial planning and retirement plan consulting. What is financial freedom? It’s when your nest egg grows to the point where you can undoubtedly live off of it for the rest of your life.

Falling back on 40+ years of private wealth management experience at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Smith Barney and Tucker Anthony, we designed an RIA firm focused on holistic wealth management and full transparency. We leverage the investment insights of DDIMG, with the convenience of Charles Schwab’s world class custodial platform so our clients can reap the full benefits of what a private fiduciary has to offer.

We are passionately dedicated to serving the specialized needs of business owners, corporate executives, successful professionals, entrepreneurs and affluent retirees. After working so hard to acquire significant wealth; your assets not only need to work for you, they need to align with the lifestyle you worked so hard to enjoy.

Areas of Practice


Asset Management

As part of our Asset Management service, we have pre-designed actively managed portfolios for our clients with different risk tolerances. The portfolios consist of individual stocks, bonds, preferred issues, as well as Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS). The client’s individual investment strategy is tailored to their specific needs and may include some or all of the previously mentioned securities. We tend to avoid mutual funds, “ETFs” and unit investment trusts due to their lack of transparency and liquidity, but have the ability to hold them if needed. Once the appropriate portfolio has been determined, portfolios are continuously and regularly monitored, and if necessary, rebalanced based upon the client’s individual needs, stated goals and objectives.



Financial Planning & Consulting

Our firm provides a variety of standalone financial planning and consulting services to clients for the management of financial resources based upon an analysis of current situation, goals, and objectives. Financial planning services will typically involve preparing a financial plan or rendering a financial consultation for clients based on the client’s financial goals and objectives. This planning or consulting may encompass Investment Planning, Retirement Planning, Estate Planning, Charitable Planning, Education Planning, Corporate and Personal Tax Planning, Cost Segregation Study, Corporate Structure, Real Estate Analysis, Mortgage/Debt Analysis, Insurance Analysis, Lines of Credit Evaluation, or Business and Personal Financial Planning.

Written financial plans or financial consultations rendered to clients usually include general recommendations for a course of activity or specific actions to be taken by the clients. Implementation of the recommendations will be at the discretion of the client. Our firm provides clients with a summary of their financial situation, and observations for financial planning engagements. Financial consultations are not typically accompanied by a written summary of observations and recommendations, as the process is less formal than the planning service. Assuming that all the information and documents requested from the client are provided promptly, plans or consultations are typically completed within 6 months of the client signing a contract with our firm.
 



Retirement Plan Consulting

Our firm provides retirement plan consulting services to employer plan sponsors on an ongoing basis. Generally, such consulting services consist of assisting employer plan sponsors in establishing, monitoring and reviewing their company's participant-directed retirement plan. As the needs of the plan sponsor dictate, areas of advising may include:

• Establishing an Investment Policy Statement – Our firm will assist in the development of a statement that summarizes the investment goals and objectives along with the broad strategies to be employed to meet the objectives.

• Investment Options – Our firm will work with the Plan Sponsor to evaluate existing investment options and make recommendations for appropriate changes.

• Asset Allocation and Portfolio Construction – Our firm will develop strategic asset allocation models to aid Participants in developing strategies to meet their investment objectives, time horizon, financial situation and tolerance for risk.

• Investment Monitoring – Our firm will monitor the performance of the investments and notify the client in the event of over/underperformance and in times of market volatility.

• Participant Education – Our firm will provide opportunities to educate plan participants about their retirement plan offerings, different investment options, and general guidance on allocation strategies.

In providing services for retirement plan consulting, our firm does not provide any advisory services with respect to the following types of assets: employer securities, real estate (excluding real estate funds and publicly traded REITS), participant loans, non-publicly traded securities or assets, other illiquid investments, or brokerage window programs (collectively, “Excluded Assets”). All retirement plan consulting services shall be in compliance with the applicable state laws regulating retirement consulting services. This applies to client accounts that are retirement or other employee benefit plans (“Plan”) governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). If the client accounts are part of a Plan, and our firm accepts appointment to provide services to such accounts, our firm acknowledges its fiduciary standard within the meaning of Section 3(21) or 3(38) of ERISA as designated by the Retirement Plan Consulting Agreement with respect to the provision of services described therein.
