Finding a wealth manager who suits your needs can be a daunting task. In fact, many consumers have a hard time figuring out where to even begin.

Sometimes, a few simple questions can set one off on the right path. Asking a wealth manager what makes working with him or her a unique experience can help you

THREE-YEAR WINNER

Why Do People Come to Linscomb & Williams?

Many reasons, but they boil down to this. People need to confi rm where they are now, fi nancially. They may have an idea where they are trying to reach, but may need help defi ning it more precisely. What they need most is help with the “how” — “How are we going to get there?” They want to get that help from a team of people who can listen and understand them but are not motivated to sell them something.

What Is Something People May Not Know About You?

While in college, I worked on an elk ranch — building fences, laying sprinkler pipe and tagging elk. That convinced me I did not want to be a rancher, but it was a unique experience in a diff erent line of work.

Can Families Really Grow Wealth Today as They Did in the Past?

Clearly, many things are diff erent today than in the past — super low interest rates being one. Yes, wealth can be grown sensibly. Many of our clients have successfully accumulated wealth, and their biggest concern becomes not being blind-sided by the unexpected. Naturally, they expect our team to grow their wealth, but just as important, they expect us to draw on our 40-plus years of experience to preserve and enhance their after-tax wealth position.

What Is Something People May Not Know About You?

I met my wife, Vanessa, when I was 14 years old. Between dating and marriage, we’ve now been together for 20 years!

Non-institutional discretionary and/or non-discretionary client assets administered; 9. Number of client households served; 10. Education and professional designations. Wealth managers do not pay a fee to be considered or placed on the final list of Five Star Wealth Managers. Award does not evaluate quality of services provided to clients. Once awarded, wealth managers may purchase additional profile ad space or promotional products. The Five Star award is not indicative of the wealth manager’s future performance. Wealth managers may or may not use discretion in their practice and therefore may not manage their client’s assets. The inclusion of a wealth manager on the Five Star Wealth Manager list should not be construed as an endorsement of the wealth manager by Five Star Professional or this publication. Working with a Five Star Wealth Manager or any wealth manager is no guarantee as to future investment success, nor is there any guarantee that the selected wealth managers will be awarded this accomplishment by Five Star Professional in the future. For more information on the Five Star award and the research/selection methodology, go to fivestarprofessional.com. 2,289 Houston wealth managers were considered for the award; 408 (18 percent of candidates) were named 2015 Five Star Wealth Managers.
