The right benchmark
Investor classifications like ‘conservative, balanced, aggressive’ and model portfolios are fatally flawed. They are based on ever-changing emotions or arbitrary risk scores instead of focusing on the one benchmark that matters—achieving your financial plan.
The Lifeworks innovation
We developed the first liability-driven wealth management system that fixes the flawed traditional approach to financial planning and investing.
Financial planning
First, your team of advisors will work with you to develop a durable financial plan grounded in your values and vision. Your plan will drive the creation and dynamic management of your investment strategy.
Personalized investments
Our revolutionary investment system designs a hyper-personalized portfolio optimized for the right benchmark—achieving your financial plan. True diversification and downside protection are achieved through factor investing, smart beta, and hedging techniques.

What our clients say
It’s not about commissions with Lifeworks—it’s about connections.
“I have had a few money managers in my career, but none like Lifeworks. Honest, dedicated, educated, and concerned for our future. It’s not about commissions with Lifeworks—it’s about connections. They gave me the impression that their compensation was second to me accomplishing my goals. It’s been 5 years or so and the feeling is still the same. I highly recommend them! I would not use anyone else.”
