The MAC Commitment
Our members are the very foundation of our business, and we strive to meet their needs and deliver independent, objective service and advice that will help them meet their goals. Each interaction with a member is governed by our “MAC Commitment”.
Member Service
Maclendon exists to serve its members, and we believe that wealth management is a service—not a product.
When you decide to work with us, we begin our relationship by developing a complete understanding of your financial picture. We discuss immediate needs, goals for the future and risk tolerance. Only then, can we craft a plan that properly establishes targets and strategies for getting you to exactly where you want to be.
We’re available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in order to bring soundness and peace of mind to your financial outlook.
But, the plan is only the beginning. We’ll meet with you regularly to discuss the state of your financial progress and any relevant changes in the markets. With each of your life’s twists and turns, we will reevaluate and respond, so you keep moving toward your goals. We’ll serve as a personal CFO, and coordinate the various professionals and advisors in your life, such as accountants, attorneys, real estate agents and insurance agents.
Alignment of Incentives
When you work with our firm, you can be confident that we share the same goals and interests: portfolio growth coupled with lasting financial security for you and your family. We’re focused on your success because when you are doing well, we’re doing well—It’s that simple.
Although that sounds like a sensible, straightforward approach to doing business, many financial firms don’t operate that way. Big banks and stock brokerages are focused on their corporate bottom line, not yours. Too often, advice is driven by what benefits the company, and not the client.
Maclendon is different. We’re an independent, employee-owned firm that provides our members with objective financial guidance, without the conflicts of interest that arise from institutional mandates or corporate politics. We work for our members, not big financial institutions, and our compensation is derived from the services we provide, not the products we recommend or sell. We operate under full transparency: all fees are disclosed up front, and there are no hidden costs. We firmly believe this approach is the right way to do business, both for us and for our members.
Comprehensive Platform
Our goal is to be the first call our members make for their financial needs—period. Whatever your concerns, we possess the experience and resources to respond to your requests.
Trained at top-tier financial institutions, Maclendon’s educated and accredited professionals understand conventional wisdom, but they can offer innovative financial solutions when appropriate, as well. Our team maintains proficiency and builds comprehension continually through advanced education and market research.
Where we cannot provide the quality of expertise required to serve a member, we will consult with our extensive network of professional partners. As a unique multi-family office, we maintain the freedom to use multiple financial service providers. That independence allows us to incorporate our expertise with the insights of outside partners, to deliver the exceptional financial guidance our members deserve.
