Comprehensive Financial Planning

At J.M. Arbour, we recognize that no two individuals or families share the same financial landscape. Wealth advisory is never a “one size fits all” endeavor. Your circumstances are distinct, and so too must be the strategy designed to steward your legacy.

Our approach to comprehensive financial planning is meticulously tailored to your unique situation and may encompass, but is not limited to:

  • Thorough assessment of your current financial position

  • Detailed review of financial statements and estate documentation

  • Evaluation of existing insurance coverage

  • Analysis of income requirements, both present and future

  • Retirement planning guidance

  • Tax mitigation strategies designed for long-term efficiency

  • Family governance and intergenerational coordination

  • Wealth transfer and legacy planning

  • Cybersecurity and personal risk assessments

Investment Advisory & Fiduciary Services

J.M. Arbour provides fee-based investment advisory services, where compensation is transparently tied to a percentage of assets under management (AUM), rather than commissions or transactional fees.

This model aligns our interests seamlessly with yours, ensuring that our commitment is to grow and protect your wealth, with an unwavering fiduciary duty. As fiduciaries, our professionals are legally bound to act in your best interests, guided by principles of loyalty and care. Our recommendations reflect a thorough understanding of your goals and financial realities.

Before engagement, we provide full disclosure of our qualifications, services, fee structures, methods of analysis, and any potential conflicts of interest. Transparency is paramount, especially in an industry often clouded by commission-driven sales and undisclosed conflicts.

Choosing a fiduciary advisor empowers you to make well-informed decisions, supported by full transparency and a relationship grounded in trust.
