Listen and Engage
Instead of trying to impress you with jargon, our advisors prefer to listen to your personal history, your goals, your worries and your dreams. We’ll even provide an opportunity for you to build your own plan that we will analyze together as we prioritize, synchronize and distill.
Prioritize
We’ll help you determine which of your goals are most achievable and the steps you need to take to start moving in the right direction today.
Synchronize
We also work with you to avoid surprises by exploring how multiple goals can have a positive or negative impact on each other.
Distill
Working together, we’ll turn the universe of planning options into just a few recommended actions that will put you on the path towards financial confidence.

Your investments should be a
reflection of your goals.

Our four-step philosophy is built around matching an
investment portfolio to your goals.

Grounded in common sense. 

Successful investing isn’t magic – it’s simply a matter of understanding your goals in life, considering your appetite for risk and selecting the mix of investments that will give you the greatest probability of success without keeping you up at night.

At Standard Truist Financial Investment Services (PBIS), our investment philosophy relies on four pillars of successful

investing:
Invest with a Purpose
Your investments should DO something, not just BE something. The success of your investment strategy should be measured by progress toward, and attainment of, your goals.

Adhere to a Disciplined Process
A consistent and disciplined process gives you the long-term focus to weather periods of market turmoil, while still allowing you to potentially capitalize on short-term opportunities.

Mitigate Unnecessary Risk
We strive to mitigate investment risk through diversification, rebalancing and a total return approach that maintains your portfolio in alignment with your unique risk profile.

Select Investment Solutions Wisely
Working together, we’ll select the mix of investments that best fits with your financial circumstances, goals and personal preferences.
