There are several reasons why it makes sense to consolidate your family’s eligible investment accounts.

• Coordination – Overall asset allocation of a consolidated portfolio must be reflective of six things: current situation, needs, goals, objectives, feelings and family dynamics
• Monitoring – An ongoing monitoring program for the consolidated portfolio is prudent for two reasons. First, it is important to have a rebalancing strategy to manage risk and the percentage you have in each investment category. Second, it is important to be able to reallocate investments to adapt to changes in life or the investment climate. Both of these strategies are easier to implement with a consolidated portfolio.
• Correlation – Successful investors must have the ability to manage the inter-relationships and differences in performance between investment vehicles. When you have all your assets at one firm it is easier to track (and avoid) unwanted overlap between different investments. It is also easier to track the overall risk of the portfolio and quickly adjust it to match the current situation.
• Cost – The more assets you have at one firm, the better the pricing you will receive on the overall assets.
• Simplicity and Taxes – Having all your assets in one place makes life easier. One example of this is the reduction in 1099s and other tax reports that come from having assets at multiple firms.
