During a recent conversation with one of my teenage boys while driving him to school, he commented that he felt I was a risk-taker compared to his friends’ fathers. I was somewhat caught off guard with this unexpected comment so I asked him to elaborate. To paraphrase, he responded, for example: 1) you were...

At Regent Peak, we strongly feel our relationships are partnerships. We like to describe the relationship like our clients are the pilots, and we are the co-pilot. Even though we are in the financial planning advisory role, our clients establish the destination (set their financial goals), outline the flight path (explain the level of risk they are comfortable taking on), and safely land the plane (reap the rewards of financial discipline)....

The concept behind an Investment Committee is comparable to our government’s purposeful “checks and balances” system. Just like the judicial, executive and legislative branches’ responsibility to question, review and validate proposals from one another, members of an Investment Committee take on the responsibility to research and understand the risks and benefits of proposed investments from other members.

At Regent Peak, we are proud...

The majority of our clients have been investing for years, if not decades. There are times, however, when we meet individuals or couples who come to the realization that they are now accumulating wealth but just haven’t done anything about investing, and they are concerned that they’ve “missed the boat”. Or we have clients who would like to advise their young adult children on how to set out on their investment journey. In either case, the...

Selling a Business

As a business owner thinks about selling their business, there’s a number of different components they need to think about well in advance of the actual sale of the company. Those considerations can be categorized into “internal,” aspects that relate to ensuring the business will be operating as efficiently and effectively as possible to be attractive to potential buyers, and “external,” which includes market conditions and timing of a...

When I am randomly asked what my favorite holiday movie is, I answer, without hesitation, "It’s a Wonderful Life." For those who are not familiar with this 1946 classic, the movie showcases a man who has given up his personal dreams in order to help others in his community and whose thoughts of suicide on...

Craig Robson, Founding Principal and Managing Director

In May, when our youngest son was finishing school exams, my wife and I encouraged him to start thinking about what he would want out of a summer job. He initially suggested a few options to us that we, as his parents, felt were narrow and somewhat one-dimensional, acknowledging that as a 14-year-old his employment choices were limited. We encouraged him to think...

On a recent scuba dive with my older son in Cozumel, he unfortunately realized his tank was out of air while approximately fifty feet below sea level. Without any hesitation he calmly and instinctively enacted the training we all must complete before certification. The first step you take is to locate your dive buddy and use hand signals to verbalize the situation....

Reflection.

As we near the end of the year, you might be thinking of all the goals you did or didn’t accomplish. Our Regent Peak Wealth Advisors team believes the end of the year is a great time for reflection. We encourage our clients to sit back and take inventory of what worked when they set their goals for 2021.

Most importantly we've been able to get back to face-to-face meetings, when allowed and if all parties are comfortable. It feels nice to see our clients again!
