TIM MCELROY
MERRILL LYNCH

"We challenge our clients to find anyone outside of their immediate family who cares more about their financial goals more than we do..."

The McElroy Group is a financial planning organization based in Las Vegas, Nevada, serving clients throughout the United States. As financial planners, we manage assets and liabilities for corporate executives, business owners, and retirees.

We have built a reputation of trust, honesty, and full transparency while advising clients through the cycles of the financial markets. Our success in maintaining relationships and partners has much to do with our business standards - proactive communication, managing the way our client's act in response to risk near market tops, and the panic and despondency around market bottoms. Our practice is focused on patience and discipline.

Our clients continue to tell us that the comprehensiveness of our planning process is what sets us apart from others. The process is focused on two goals - accumulation of wealth during your lifetime and distribution of wealth during retirement. We are committed to creating and maintaining a retirement income that will support the lifestyle you have created for your family.

The long term financial plans we create for our clients, their families, and their business provide guidelines for how their assets are invested and distributed. With our client's consent, we work with their accountants and attorneys while aligning the portfolios with their risk appetite, life expectancies, and tax situation rather than a short-term view of the economy or the capital markets. We provide status updates on our progress toward the long-term goals defined by the financial plan.

We know from experience that the assurance in achieving your goals is creating a roadmap and staying on course. Therefore, our process always begins with the construction of a solid financial plan for all of our clients. This plan will include an investment policy statement with recommendations from your personal advisor, asset allocation based on your individual risk appetite, a disciplined diversification within asset classes, portfolio rebalancing and monitoring, and quarterly reviews.
