Allocation
Set risk based on the plan, time horizon, spending needs, and emotional capacity.

Investment Management Built Around the Plan
A portfolio should not be designed in a vacuum. The right investment strategy depends on your tax situation, retirement timeline, cash needs, estate goals, employer benefits, and how much risk the plan actually requires.
How this fits
Disciplined, Tax-Aware, and Coordinated
We do not start with products or market predictions. We start with the financial plan, then design the portfolio to support it. That includes asset allocation, asset location, rebalancing, withdrawal strategy, concentrated-position planning, and tax-aware implementation.
Because tax planning and preparation can be part of the broader Talley Wealth relationship, portfolio decisions are not separated from the return they eventually affect.
How We Manage Portfolios
Asset Location
Place investments across taxable, tax-deferred, and Roth accounts with taxes in mind.
Rebalancing
Keep the portfolio aligned without creating unnecessary taxes or trading noise.
Tax Loss Harvesting
Look for useful losses in taxable accounts when they improve the after-tax result.
Income Strategy
Coordinate withdrawals from the right accounts at the right time.
Concentration
Reduce single-stock or employer-stock risk in a tax-aware sequence.

- Families who want portfolio decisions connected to tax planning
Common questions
Do you try to time the market?
No. We use a disciplined process focused on diversification, costs, taxes, risk, and the purpose of the money. The plan should not depend on guessing the next market move.
Can you manage my 401(k)?
We generally cannot directly manage an employer plan, but we can review the investment options and coordinate that account with the rest of your portfolio.
How does tax planning affect investments?
Taxes affect what to own, where to own it, when to sell, when to harvest losses, how to diversify concentrated positions, and how to create retirement income.
