We have developed the tools to help women clients achieve their short term and long term financial goals. We help women clients by listening to their goals, by helping them organize their financial lives and giving them a financial and investment plan that puts them in control. We do all of this through providing a learning experience that help make women feel confident they are making the right decisions for themselves and their families.
Women’s Wealth
Steps that we take to listen to our women clients:
- If a woman client is meeting with Windsor Wealth there will always be a woman from the group in the meeting
- We encourage women-only meetings
- We make it easy for women to ask questions to anyone on the team
- Since all of our investment strategies are goal-based we will listen to what our client’s priorities are based on a short-term and long-term basis.
- We want to know every detail of every general goal given to us so that we can add it and monitor it in the investment plan.
Steps that we take to help organize women’s financial and investment life:
The Family Wealth Planning document is the first step to organize your financial and investment life:
- This document has several sections of information to stay organized:
- Family Tree (for legacy and estate reasons)
- The Client Advisory Support Team
- Current Financial Goals & Concerns
- Cash Flow details
- Investment details
- Real Estate
- Legacy & Estate Planning documents and wishes
- Family Security
- Insurance Coverage
- Liability Management
This document acts as your financial and investment hub and is one document that can be updated at any given time and more importantly can be a guide to your family.
Another way we help you stay organized is by providing a folder with the following documents:
- The Family Wealth Planning document
- Your Financial Plan
- Your Retirement Savings strategy
- Your Education Savings strategy
- Life Insurance information and strategy

The vault offers layers of digital security so that your documents are secure.
We provide an update on your Family Wealth Planning document as often as month, an update on the Goal Planning & Monitoring plan and an in person meeting either semi-annually or annually based on your preference.
