What sets Lenox apart is the comprehensive nature of what we can accomplish as your

personal CFO streamlining the fi nancial planning process with a focus on advice rather

than products

Our technology gives Lenox Advisors and our clients the ability to organize information

from all their advisors and consolidate them in one place The data is encrypted secure

and automatically updated daily This frees the client from the smallest (but often the most

critical) details of wealth management giving them the freedom to devote more time and

attention to other important aspects of their lives

Streamline

Organize and Consolidate

ldquoManaging your wealth can be an intimidating process We turn

anxiety into empowerment by becoming our clientsrsquo personal CFO

and developing a set of fi nancial goals and a game plan for

achieving themrdquo

Rick Van Benschoten CFPreg Managing Partner Lenox Advisors

A key differentiator of Lenox is our values-based approach to wealth management and

how it threads throughout your relationship with Lenox All our recommendations are

sourced through your ldquoPersonal Money Constitutionrdquo a document reflecting your (and

your familyrsquos) relationship to money

For example what are the values you grew up with and what do you want to pass on to

your children What values do you and your spouse agree and disagree on What would

we have to do together over the next fi ve years for you to believe wersquove succeeded in

managing your fi nancial affairs

Realizing that wealth management is often a family issue Lenox developed a proprietary

platform the Lenox Money-Smart Kidstrade Program to help parents communicate their fi nan-

cial values and educate their children about money and philanthropy Lenox knows preserv-

ing generational wealth cannot be accomplished without preserving values

Communicate

Financial Values

Lenox CFOtrade

StrategizeSuccessful asset management is a process not an event Securing onersquos

fi nancial future particularly in an uncertain economic environment requires

continuous oversight by an integrated team of fi nancial professionals who

are able to provide insightful advice and timely execution against agreed-

upon fi nancial goals Such oversight provides strategic perspectives on

specifi c issues including What asset allocation is appropriate for your level

of risk tolerance Where should you own specifi c investments in order to

maximize after-tax returns When should one overweight versus under-

weight certain asset classes

Lenox Asset Management

Lenox Advisors takes the time to listen to clients and understand how they accumulated

their wealth Was it success in a self-made business inherited money a concentrated

stock holding in a public company Lenox then develops an investment strategy based on

each clientrsquos particular fi nancial goals including their spending needs multi-generational

estate planning goals retirement and future philanthropic aspirations We believe success-

ful asset management should be part of overall estate business and fi nancial planning

ASSET ALLOCATION

Lenox Advisors takes an institutional approach to individual investing encouraging clients

to approach their portfolio asset allocation similar to a college endowment or charitable

foundation We believe global multi-asset class portfolios of stock bond and alternative

investments have the best potential to protect assets and generate strong returns while

minimizing risk Emphasizing asset classes and investment vehicles that have little or no

correlation over a market cycle helps to increase success

INVESTMENT VEHICLES

Lenox Advisors has no proprietary products and utilizes an open architecture approach

through consulting fi rms that assist in the initial and ongoing reviews of institutional

money managers Lenox implements portfolios through some of the best money manag-

ers and private fi rms available as well as utilizing passive investments where appropriate

ASSET OWNERSHIP

Often overlooked asset ownership is an important aspect of investment planning For

example tax-ineffi cient investments (including some alternative investments) could be

moved to tax-deferred accounts This type of investment detail keeping in mind the under-

lying performance of the investment could yield far more in returns than market timing or

investment selection These decisions become even more important when potential tax

increases may be on the horizon

Analysis and Planning

ldquoThe one certain way to improve investment returns is to reduce

expenses and the greatest expense in most investment portfolios

is taxes We believe wealth is amassed by focusing on after-tax

returns not pre-tax returnsrdquo

What sets Lenox apart is the comprehensive nature of what we can accomplish as your

personal CFO streamlining the fi nancial planning process with a focus on advice rather

than products

Our technology gives Lenox Advisors and our clients the ability to organize information

from all their advisors and consolidate them in one place The data is encrypted secure

and automatically updated daily This frees the client from the smallest (but often the most

critical) details of wealth management giving them the freedom to devote more time and

attention to other important aspects of their lives

Streamline

ldquoManaging your wealth can be an intimidating process We turn

anxiety into empowerment by becoming our clientsrsquo personal CFO

and developing a set of fi nancial goals and a game plan for

achieving themrdquo

Rick Van Benschoten CFPreg Managing Partner Lenox Advisors

A key differentiator of Lenox is our values-based approach to wealth management and

how it threads throughout your relationship with Lenox All our recommendations are

sourced through your ldquoPersonal Money Constitutionrdquo a document reflecting your (and

your familyrsquos) relationship to money

For example what are the values you grew up with and what do you want to pass on to

your children What values do you and your spouse agree and disagree on What would

we have to do together over the next fi ve years for you to believe wersquove succeeded in

managing your fi nancial affairs

Realizing that wealth management is often a family issue Lenox developed a proprietary

platform the Lenox Money-Smart Kidstrade Program to help parents communicate their fi nan-

cial values and educate their children about money and philanthropy Lenox knows preserv-

ing generational wealth cannot be accomplished without preserving values

Communicate

Financial Values

Lenox CFOtrade

StrategizeSuccessful asset management is a process not an event Securing onersquos

fi nancial future particularly in an uncertain economic environment requires

continuous oversight by an integrated team of fi nancial professionals who

are able to provide insightful advice and timely execution against agreed-

upon fi nancial goals Such oversight provides strategic perspectives on

specifi c issues including What asset allocation is appropriate for your level

of risk tolerance Where should you own specifi c investments in order to

maximize after-tax returns When should one overweight versus under-

weight certain asset classes

Lenox Asset Management

Lenox Advisors takes the time to listen to clients and understand how they accumulated

their wealth Was it success in a self-made business inherited money a concentrated

stock holding in a public company Lenox then develops an investment strategy based on

each clientrsquos particular fi nancial goals including their spending needs multi-generational

estate planning goals retirement and future philanthropic aspirations We believe success-

ful asset management should be part of overall estate business and fi nancial planning

ASSET ALLOCATION

Lenox Advisors takes an institutional approach to individual investing encouraging clients

to approach their portfolio asset allocation similar to a college endowment or charitable

foundation We believe global multi-asset class portfolios of stock bond and alternative

investments have the best potential to protect assets and generate strong returns while

minimizing risk Emphasizing asset classes and investment vehicles that have little or no

correlation over a market cycle helps to increase success

INVESTMENT VEHICLES

Lenox Advisors has no proprietary products and utilizes an open architecture approach

through consulting fi rms that assist in the initial and ongoing reviews of institutional

money managers Lenox implements portfolios through some of the best money manag-

ers and private fi rms available as well as utilizing passive investments where appropriate

ASSET OWNERSHIP

Often overlooked asset ownership is an important aspect of investment planning For

example tax-ineffi cient investments (including some alternative investments) could be

moved to tax-deferred accounts This type of investment detail keeping in mind the under-

lying performance of the investment could yield far more in returns than market timing or

investment selection These decisions become even more important when potential tax

increases may be on the horizon

Access

Analysis and Planning

ldquoThe one certain way to improve investment returns is to reduce

expenses and the greatest expense in most investment portfolios

is taxes We believe wealth is amassed by focusing on after-tax

returns not pre-tax returnsrdquo

Our technology gives Lenox Advisors and our clients the ability to organize information

ldquoManaging your wealth can be an intimidating process We turn

anxiety into empowerment by becoming our clientsrsquo personal CFO

Rick Van Benschoten CFPreg Managing Partner Lenox Advisors

A key differentiator of Lenox is our values-based approach to wealth management and

how it threads throughout your relationship with Lenox All our recommendations are

sourced through your ldquoPersonal Money Constitutionrdquo a document reflecting your (and

your familyrsquos) relationship to money

For example what are the values you grew up with and what do you want to pass on to

your children What values do you and your spouse agree and disagree on What would

we have to do together over the next fi ve years for you to believe wersquove succeeded in

managing your fi nancial affairs

Realizing that wealth management is often a family issue Lenox developed a proprietary

platform the Lenox Money-Smart Kidstrade Program to help parents communicate their fi nan-

cial values and educate their children about money and philanthropy Lenox knows preserv-

ing generational wealth cannot be accomplished without preserving values

StrategizeSuccessful asset management is a process not an event Securing onersquos

fi nancial future particularly in an uncertain economic environment requires

continuous oversight by an integrated team of fi nancial professionals who

are able to provide insightful advice and timely execution against agreed-

upon fi nancial goals Such oversight provides strategic perspectives on

specifi c issues including What asset allocation is appropriate for your level

of risk tolerance Where should you own specifi c investments in order to

maximize after-tax returns When should one overweight versus under-

weight certain asset classes

Lenox Asset Management

Lenox Advisors takes the time to listen to clients and understand how they accumulated

their wealth Was it success in a self-made business inherited money a concentrated

stock holding in a public company Lenox then develops an investment strategy based on

each clientrsquos particular fi nancial goals including their spending needs multi-generational

estate planning goals retirement and future philanthropic aspirations We believe success-

ful asset management should be part of overall estate business and fi nancial planning

ASSET ALLOCATION

Lenox Advisors takes an institutional approach to individual investing encouraging clients

to approach their portfolio asset allocation similar to a college endowment or charitable

foundation We believe global multi-asset class portfolios of stock bond and alternative

investments have the best potential to protect assets and generate strong returns while

minimizing risk Emphasizing asset classes and investment vehicles that have little or no

correlation over a market cycle helps to increase success

INVESTMENT VEHICLES

Lenox Advisors has no proprietary products and utilizes an open architecture approach

through consulting fi rms that assist in the initial and ongoing reviews of institutional

money managers Lenox implements portfolios through some of the best money manag-

ers and private fi rms available as well as utilizing passive investments where appropriate

ASSET OWNERSHIP

Often overlooked asset ownership is an important aspect of investment planning For

example tax-ineffi cient investments (including some alternative investments) could be

moved to tax-deferred accounts This type of investment detail keeping in mind the under-

lying performance of the investment could yield far more in returns than market timing or

investment selection These decisions become even more important when potential tax

increases may be on the horizon

A key differentiator of Lenox is our values-based approach to wealth management and

how it threads throughout your relationship with Lenox All our recommendations are

sourced through your ldquoPersonal Money Constitutionrdquo a document reflecting your (and

your familyrsquos) relationship to money

For example what are the values you grew up with and what do you want to pass on to

your children What values do you and your spouse agree and disagree on What would

we have to do together over the next fi ve years for you to believe wersquove succeeded in

managing your fi nancial affairs

Realizing that wealth management is often a family issue Lenox developed a proprietary

platform the Lenox Money-Smart Kidstrade Program to help parents communicate their fi nan-

cial values and educate their children about money and philanthropy Lenox knows preserv-

ing generational wealth cannot be accomplished without preserving values

StrategizeSuccessful asset management is a process not an event Securing onersquos

fi nancial future particularly in an uncertain economic environment requires

continuous oversight by an integrated team of fi nancial professionals who

are able to provide insightful advice and timely execution against agreed-

upon fi nancial goals Such oversight provides strategic perspectives on

specifi c issues including What asset allocation is appropriate for your level

of risk tolerance Where should you own specifi c investments in order to

maximize after-tax returns When should one overweight versus under-

Lenox Asset Management

Lenox Advisors takes the time to listen to clients and understand how they accumulated

their wealth Was it success in a self-made business inherited money a concentrated

stock holding in a public company Lenox then develops an investment strategy based on

each clientrsquos particular fi nancial goals including their spending needs multi-generational

estate planning goals retirement and future philanthropic aspirations We believe success-

ful asset management should be part of overall estate business and fi nancial planning

ASSET ALLOCATION

Lenox Advisors takes an institutional approach to individual investing encouraging clients

to approach their portfolio asset allocation similar to a college endowment or charitable

foundation We believe global multi-asset class portfolios of stock bond and alternative

investments have the best potential to protect assets and generate strong returns while

minimizing risk Emphasizing asset classes and investment vehicles that have little or no

correlation over a market cycle helps to increase success

INVESTMENT VEHICLES

Lenox Advisors has no proprietary products and utilizes an open architecture approach

through consulting fi rms that assist in the initial and ongoing reviews of institutional

money managers Lenox implements portfolios through some of the best money manag-

ers and private fi rms available as well as utilizing passive investments where appropriate

ASSET OWNERSHIP

Often overlooked asset ownership is an important aspect of investment planning For

example tax-ineffi cient investments (including some alternative investments) could be

moved to tax-deferred accounts This type of investment detail keeping in mind the under-

lying performance of the investment could yield far more in returns than market timing or

investment selection These decisions become even more important when potential tax

increases may be on the horizon

ldquoThe one certain way to improve investment returns is to reduce

expenses and the greatest expense in most investment portfolios

returns not pre-tax returnsrdquo

example tax-ineffi cient investments (including some alternative investments) could be

moved to tax-deferred accounts This type of investment detail keeping in mind the under-

lying performance of the investment could yield far more in returns than market timing or

investment selection These decisions become even more important when potential tax

increases may be on the horizon

StrategizeSuccessful asset management is a process not an event Securing onersquos

fi nancial future particularly in an uncertain economic environment requires

continuous oversight by an integrated team of fi nancial professionals who

are able to provide insightful advice and timely execution against agreed-

upon fi nancial goals Such oversight provides strategic perspectives on

specifi c issues including What asset allocation is appropriate for your level

of risk tolerance Where should you own specifi c investments in order to

maximize after-tax returns When should one overweight versus under-

weight certain asset classes

Lenox Asset Management

Lenox Advisors takes the time to listen to clients and understand how they accumulated

their wealth Was it success in a self-made business inherited money a concentrated

stock holding in a public company Lenox then develops an investment strategy based on

each clientrsquos particular fi nancial goals including their spending needs multi-generational

estate planning goals retirement and future philanthropic aspirations We believe success-

ful asset management should be part of overall estate business and fi nancial planning

ASSET ALLOCATION

Lenox Advisors takes an institutional approach to individual investing encouraging clients

to approach their portfolio asset allocation similar to a college endowment or charitable

foundation We believe global multi-asset class portfolios of stock bond and alternative

investments have the best potential to protect assets and generate strong returns while

minimizing risk Emphasizing asset classes and investment vehicles that have little or no

correlation over a market cycle helps to increase success

INVESTMENT VEHICLES

Lenox Advisors has no proprietary products and utilizes an open architecture approach

through consulting fi rms that assist in the initial and ongoing reviews of institutional

money managers Lenox implements portfolios through some of the best money manag-

ers and private fi rms available as well as utilizing passive investments where appropriate

ASSET OWNERSHIP

Often overlooked asset ownership is an important aspect of investment planning For

example tax-ineffi cient investments (including some alternative investments) could be

moved to tax-deferred accounts This type of investment detail keeping in mind the under-

lying performance of the investment could yield far more in returns than market timing or

investment selection These decisions become even more important when potential tax

increases may be on the horizon
