We manage investments using tactical strategies and diversification so as to minimize risk and loss of significant value during severe market declines such as occurred in 2000 and 2008. Rather than utilizing third-party money managers who adhere to a buy-and-hold philosophy, we manage our clients? investments ourselves so we can respond quickly to market dynamics, be out of the market before it declines substantially, and retain liquidity, which allows us to potentially have more dollars to reinvest at lower prices when the market begins to recover.
We provide financial, retirement, tax, asset protection, balance sheet and cash flow planning; and we coach parents and children in how to invest, build, operate, manage, and work as a team to achieve a worthwhile and common purpose that creates a legacy of heirs properly prepared to manage the family wealth for multiple generations.
Family Wealth Leadership is the DBA for Advantage Asset Management, Inc., a Registered Investment Advisory firm registered in the states of California, Arizona, Nevada, and Texas as a financial advisor engaged in financial planning, wealth management, insurance, and estate planning and family stewardship coaching.

How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We provide all of the services of any wealth management firm in investments, planning, and insurance; but we are unique in that we also coach High Net Worth families through the difficult transition of wealth from one generation to the next. This requires in-depth involvement, interviewing, and interaction with every member of the family to include parents, children, grandchildren, and in-laws.
