Lattice Wealth Management

Navigating the world of wealth management is like entering a maze with countless paths. From part-time insurance agents to seasoned investment bankers, the overwhelming choices can leave individuals underequipped when making the crucial decision that will shape their financial future. Amidst this complexity, Michael Ross, the founder of Lattice Wealth Management, firmly believes in the power of simplicity.

“Simplicity is the cornerstone of our philosophy. The process doesn't need to be complex; it can be quite straightforward. The simpler it is, the more affordable and effective the solution,” says Michael Ross, founder of Lattice Wealth Management.

Lattice is not a run-of-the-mill wealth management firm but a proactive and collaborative force, weaving strategies that seamlessly integrate diverse investment tools while maintaining crystal-clear transparency. With an impressive 25-year journey, Lattice is more than a financial advisor; it is a trusted guide that navigates clients through the complexities of the wealth management arena.

What sets Lattice apart? It’s a strong commitment to client satisfaction. Whether the need revolves around tax planning, charitable giving, estate planning, or family education, it offers a refreshingly transparent asset-based fee structure devoid of hidden surprises or jargon. This clarity reflects on the client's monthly statement, empowering them with a lucid understanding of their financial journey.

Two guiding principles shape Lattice's approach, efficiency and robust client engagement. The streamlined methods place these tenets as the bedrock to deliver optimal results cost-effectively, with ongoing dialogue ensuring clients are never left in the dark. It believes in keeping clients in the loop, offering regular consultations, from quarterly check-ins to monthly conversations, tailored to their needs.

While simplicity is a natural preference in wealth management, the intricacies of investment decisions often introduce tax complexities and estate planning. Recognizing that no single entity can excel in every aspect of wealth management, Lattice has cultivated a network of experts. This collaborative approach ensures clients can draw insights from accountants, investment advisors, attorneys, and plan administrators before getting a best-suited solution. It's a holistic approach that provides the best of all worlds.

The expertise of Lattice shines through real-life success stories. Consider, for instance, a client who, at just 56, aimed to retire and access her IRA funds. For this engagement, the firm navigated complex IRS regulations with finesse, enabling her to take control and enjoy the accumulated retirement income. Essentially, its team collaborated with tax advisors to eliminate surprises, even as she relocated and faced market volatility. This collaboration is a testament to Lattice’s ability to seamlessly harmonize investment and tax strategies.

Another compelling example is the tale of an elderly couple who were misled into an unsuitable annuity contract. Once they partnered with Lattice, the firm solved the problems while crafting a diversified portfolio of corporate bonds to provide much-needed stability and newfound financial security.

In the ever-evolving financial advisory landscape, experience is the anchor for stability. While young advisors may champion solutions that wane with time, Lattice thrives on decades of wisdom. It decodes market developments, rescues clients from subpar investments, and guides them toward a secure financial future.

Further boosting Lattice’s reputation is Ross’s ground-breaking book, ‘The False Hope of Global Diversification: Confessions of a Portfolio Management Maverick.’ It is a guiding beacon for confidently managing portfolios, supplemented with valuable materials available on buildwealth.co.

Continuing its journey of simplicity, collaboration, and expertise, Lattice is set to unravel emerging complexities and empower clients to create a resilient wealth management approach that can stand the test of time.
