Our Approach to Supporting You

More than simply investments, you need to make a plan for the life you want, both now and into the future. As an independent, employee-owned firm, Baird is structured to perform over the long term. We know that the only way we succeed is if our clients succeed. That’s the Baird Difference.

Everything we do at Baird is focused on putting our clients first. That’s why we’ve evolved the traditional financial advisory relationship to offer comprehensive wealth management. Wealth management at Baird is about your big picture – identifying what’s most important to you and building a plan that includes investments carefully selected to help deliver on your priorities.

Client Experience

Discovery Meeting

In our discovery meeting, we will take time to address your needs and concerns while gaining a clear understanding of your vision for the future. We will discuss your goals, risk tolerance, and review your current assets and liabilities to establish a strong foundation. This conversation helps ensure your financial plan is tailored to what matters most to you.

Delivery Meeting

During the delivery meeting, we will walk through your comprehensive financial plan, ensuring each component aligns with your goals and priorities. We will review your recommended asset allocation, explain the selected investment vehicles, and discuss how each supports your long-term strategy.

Implementation and Ongoing Monitoring

Once your agreement is finalized, we will begin implementation and establish a process for regular review of your portfolio to ensure it remains aligned with your objectives. Over time, we will adjust strategies as needed in response to changes in your goals, market conditions, and life events. We will also incorporate updates related to relevant laws and opportunities to keep your plan current and effective.

Knowing our clients well is the cornerstone of Wealth Management. Having deep knowledge, and not about just financial affairs, but personal issues as well, enables us to do each of the following:

Understand our clients' most important financial challenges. The only way we will be able to accurately identify and effectively implement Wealth Management Solutions is to have a full and clear understanding of the challenges our clients face.
Discover otherwise unexpressed issues. The more we talk with our clients, the more we will learn about their goals and concerns, increasing our ability to serve them effectively, thereby enhancing their trust in us.
Find new opportunities. Developing a broad, friendly rapport with our clients can clue us in to events in their lives, for example, the birth of a child or grandchild.
Build personal connections. Such connections are the glue, that can hold our relationship together through good and bad markets.
Monitor our client's experiences. The more we know and are in contact with our clients, the more we can find out whether we are meeting their expectations. This allows us to make adjustments as necessary to ensure their continued satisfaction.
Communicate value. Close client contact gives us a chance to let our clients know that we are the trusted financial advisor they need to help them achieve all that is most important to them.
