Introducing Our Proprietary Formula:

Relationship Partnership

This part, which is only followed by 6% of the 460,000+ wealth advisors in the United States, is where we collaborate with your accountant, your attorney, your banker, your insurance agent, extended family members and others. This includes anyone who touches your money in any way, in any shape, in any form, so that we can help coordinate and facilitate, and be in a partnership with those individuals to make sure that your agenda is taken care of exactly how you want it done. Our mission here is to take away that complexity in your life to make your wealth as simple as possible. We serve you through planning proactiveness, tax and estate coordination, incremental investment decision making with the evolution of your vision, your family, and changing economic and tax landscapes.

Deep Support

This is Coyle’s secret sauce, where our passion, client care and expert execution shine. Through a unique proprietary process, we make sure every single activity and proactive measure is taken to support your life and your growing wealth. Every moving part of your financial and family wealth is addressed when it needs to be and you get the proper coaching and attention on every issue that warrants your direction. Transition is a constant, not a variable. All plans will change by necessity. Resources needed will ebb and flow and will need to be plugged in quickly and efficiently.

Leave any of the above components out and
your financial results will be significantly diminished.

The Wealth of Everything allows your most important initiatives to be addressed in a timely manner while ensuring the complexity of your wealth is simplified. Your goals, values, and key concerns are the focus of our wealth management services.

You need the whole equation to achieve the sanctuary associated with comprehensive wealth management and all of its tangible as well as intangible benefits.

You want a team to collaborate around these concerns and provide creative financial, tax and estate strategies to address your individual goals, issues and concerns. All this is accomplished with a client relationship management system to simplify your complex life.

Our motto is, "Be quick, but don't hurry."

Changing The Conversation: Wisdom To Protect
Your Financial and Family Wealth

May 2023 – Sideways Markets

The stock market has gone sideways over the past twelve months, with different market segments rotating their leadership: U.S. versus the World, Small-Cap versus Large-Cap, Growth versus Value. First, both U.S. stocks and the developed international stocks had nearly identical performance from early May of 2022 until the middle of December, when the U.S. market […]

February 2023 – When Good News is Bad News

Here we are in February, and I suspect that some of you still have not opened your year-end investment account statements. Those of you that did may still be in a state of shock.

November 2022 – All Eyes on the Fed

You would not be off the mark if you said that the market is obsessed with the Federal Reserve. On November 2nd, the Fed raised the target for the overnight federal funds rate by 0.75%, the fourth consecutive time the Fed has done so this year. The new Fed Funds range is now 3.75 – […]

August 2022 – Summertime Blues: Bear Markets, Inflation and Recession Talk

The U.S. stock market declined 24% for the first half of 2022, after posting a record high on January 3rd. Since June 30th, the market has recovered 10% but still remains down almost 14% year-to-date through August 9th. Does this mean the market has finally bottomed out? Maybe, or maybe not. This chart shows two […]

May 2022 – Climate Versus Weather

Like many of you, I pay close attention to the weather forecast, especially this time of year. As a trained weather spotter, I stay alert to the beginning of tornado season here in Illinois. Seasonal weather patterns greatly influence the timing of the northernly spring bird migration (which bird lovers like me wait all year […]

February 2022 – Valuing Securities – Part II

In the three months since our last Market Observer, the overall U.S. stock market is down over 6%, with global stocks down 4%. U.S. large cap growth stocks are in correction territory, off over 11%, and small cap growth down almost 20%. Value stocks, on the other hand, are holding up relatively better, with large […]
