ONGOING FINANCIAL PLANNING SERVICES
The precarious balance between your financial plan and investment plan requires periodic analysis and revisions. Your investment returns and current lifestyle costs are interrelated and must be reviewed to accomplish your retirement goals. Further, Montecito Capital Management’s "Dynamic Asset Allocation" process for clients’ portfolio management, construction and composition inherently commands adjustments based on client, portfolio or financial standing changes. This is why we require clients maintain an ongoing advisor relationship with us, your financial partner and subsequent vehicle toward achieving your financial aspirations.

We have found that following the delivery of a financial plan, often times many of the recommendations do not get implemented for one reason or another. Sometimes recommendations do get implemented, albeit incorrectly. Financial planning can be extremely complex, and because of the severe negative consequences that can result, it is imperative that certain recommendations get implemented correctly. Many clients retain our firm after the delivery of their financial plan to ensure that our recommendations get implemented correctly and to monitor the appropriateness of their plan in light of changes in the financial markets, tax code or their personal or financial situation.

Financial planning without ongoing monitoring and adjusting is like running a marathon once and believing that you are going to be in great shape for the rest of your life.

This service maintains your financial fitness via:

· Annual updates to your financial plan

· Close tracking of every detail of your personal financial situation, using advanced tracking software

· In-depth reports and task lists

· Taking you through the investment process (three meetings to teach you about investing, and a written investment policy statement)

· Checking your asset allocation each quarter to ensure that it is within the limits established by your investment policy statement

· Assistance with placing trades

· Access to Web-based retirement planning and investment performance reporting software

· Assistance with implementing the recommendations in your financial plan after the initial month

· Answers to all of your financial planning-related questions

· Important articles, research and commentary about personal finance via e-mail

The only new clients we are currently accepting are those who are interested in hiring us to provide ongoing financial planning services once their financial plan has been written.
