Educational Depth

Still, we know that it can be the everyday care and attention that makes the biggest difference for our clients, so we also live by the following service standards:
Steven Krupica CFP, CIM™, RRC
Wealth Advisor
We strive to be accessible and responsive at all times, and we pride ourselves on never letting client calls go to voicemail. We will answer the phone, respond to your emails promptly, and return after-hours calls within 1-2 hours.
Answering Your Call
Your children and grandchildren will benefit from the same fee structure we offer you, with no minimum investment and equal access to our service.
Transferring to the Next Generation
At tax time, there is nothing you need to do. We will work with your accountant to facilitate tax preparation, ensuring they have all the information they need.
Tax Preparation
Unfortunately, we cannot read minds. But we seek to create a comfortable atmosphere in which you can speak openly and honestly with our team. If you share any needs or preferences with us, we will do our utmost to accommodate them. This may include more frequent reviews, personalized reporting, or unique communication protocols.
Open Communication
Our portfolio construction process does not rely on models or packaged products. Instead, we build each portfolio on three core pillars, leveraging institutional tools and decades of experience to reflect your unique priorities, timelines, and comfort with risk.
Personalized to You
Every portfolio is tax-optimized and built to generate cash flow, manage risk, and match your financial goals.
WHY IT MATTERS:
Your portfolio works for your life—not the other way around.
Multi-Asset Class Design
Portfolios are constructed across public and private markets, including institutional-level investments.
WHY IT MATTERS:
You gain broader opportunity, reduced volatility, and customized yield.
Research-Driven Equity Selection
We actively manage a core of high-quality securities chosen through proprietary research and global insights.
WHY IT MATTERS:
You hold resilient, growth-oriented companies, not generic market exposure.
Our Three Core Pillars
Fully Customized
Your portfolio reflects the life you’re living, not a pre-set model.

We have incorporated into our investment process various advanced methods of pursuing core client objectives. While these options strategies are typically available only to institutional investors, we have these capabilities in-house and tailor them to each client’s needs.
What does this mean for you?
Beyond the conventional approach, you can find more sophisticated ways to pursue returns with reduced volatility and greater diversity of assets. The use of options can introduce even more opportunities, like purchasing high-quality stocks at a discount, earning additional equity income without having to reallocate, and maintaining market exposure while reducing drawdowns in uncertain conditions.
STRATEGY 1
Boost portfolio yield through additional income
Cushion the effect of downside market movements
Improve the tax efficiency of your portfolio
Covered Call Writing
This strategy entails selling covered calls against equity positions to generate premium, tax-advantaged income. This has the potential to provide the following benefits:
STRATEGY 2
Lower-cost entry points
Consistent income generation
Upfront payout for both assigned and unassigned stocks
Cash-Secured Put Writing
Writing puts on desired stocks is a methodical way to gain equity exposure, while pursuing other advantages:
STRATEGY 3
Mitigate losses during volatile markets
Hedge broad market risk
Balance exposure based on market conditions
Hedging & Tail-Risk Management
This approach includes protective puts, index overlay strategies and custom volatility strategies, all aimed at better protecting capital. These steps have the potential to:
Private investments have long been used by pension plans and endowments to outperform with less volatility.
Strategically selected
Purpose-built
Fully aligned with your plan

What does this mean for you?
A legacy-oriented planning approach can help families retain more of their wealth through major transitions like estate transfers, the sale of a business or retirement from a corporate position—and continue growing those assets through the power of time and consistency.
Time is the most powerful driver of growth, so a comprehensive approach to planning your legacy can not only preserve family assets, but also enable greater growth over the long term, helping to ensure:
