Team-Based Multigenerational Success
The foundation of Novare's model is its belief that every client deserves a team dedicated to their financial future. This approach ensures that families are paired not just with one advisor but with both senior and next-generation advisors who facilitate continuity in guidance. The in-house research team plays a critical role, providing comprehensive insights that help keep strategies aligned over generations.
Managing Director Anne McPhail, CFP®, articulated this philosophy, stating, “When a family starts working with us, we want them to know more than one person at Novare. They have a senior advisor, a next-generation advisor, and the analysts who research the companies in their portfolio.” McPhail emphasized the importance of forming deep connections with clients, ensuring they are well-acquainted enough to be the first point of contact when clients have questions or need to make important decisions.
