We have always believed that your story goes beyond your bank account and portfolio.
At Simaris, we prioritize longterm relationships and a uniquely personal approach focused on finding your purpose first, and aligning it to your financial picture through the EVOKE process.
Founded by George Kinder at the Kinder Institute, this is a 5-Phase process for a deeper approach to financial planning. By focusing on the core of your wants, needs, and biggest dreams, we construct a more complex understanding of how to plan for your future. We then use our financial expertise to utilize your current + future assets, to get you exactly where you want to be.
Exploration: an in-depth conversation and opportunity to explore what matters most to you.
Vision: Prioritizing your goals and developing an image for what you want your life to be.
Obstacles: Identifying what's holding you back and how we can tackle them directly.
Knowledge: Connecting your financial picture with your life plan.
Execution: Working together to bring your plan to life, as quickly as possible.
